You must be going out of your way to do this climb on your route. Unless you stay on Broadway to 181st instead of using the bike path to ****man Street, the highest hill on your route would be closer to 100' if that.

Of course it's possible that you're using the Henry Hudson Bridge, then it's about 120'.
