That's pretty hilly for a commute. Heck, that's just pretty steep climb generally speaking. I'm not sure I'd want to ride that hill every day. Any way to detour around it? A few extra miles may be worth it. Anything above 10% is a big effort for most riders. When I plot my rides I try to avoid anything above 10%. I stalled on a longish hill with grades over 15% and walked, and that was on my road bike.
