I have the same problem, about half a mile of 8% followed by a hundred yards or so of 18%, so I can go for a nice easy ride and be feeling good, and then I'm a hot sweaty mess by the time I actually park my bike.
The really good news is that I have a similar climb to get OUT of my house! (one way street)
