I would bet yes. I have a 50/34 compact and a Shimano XTR 11-34 cassette.
My buddy uses 50/34 with an Ultegra 12-30 that Shimano now makes.
My 3 lowest gear sets are 34/27, 34/30 and 34/34.
People who know me know 2 things about me that they can take to the bank:
1) My left knee is gnarled and trashed.
2) I can climb anything.
