I agree that 34/34 will most likely suffice for any hill. And there's always walking.
You're going to show us pictures, right?!
That's a bummer. I just put an SRAM chain on my Jamis. If it fails, I will replace it with a KMC chain. I will post pictures, but it will likely be a few weeks before I do. I have to finish the Jamis this weekend and I won't be up north the following weekend.
