One way to predict climbing performance on a yet to be tried route is to determine your VAM on your local climb.

Then use strava to check the route you intend to climb. Look down the leaderboard for athletes who completed it with VAM similar to yours. What was their speed up? If it's a speed similar to what you have available with your current gearing, then you should be OK.
