Put all your gear on it, and try riding up hills you expect to encounter. Can you do it comfortably? Then yes, it is sufficient, if not, then it isn't.

At the least, though, I'd find a new crank and a frond derailleur and make it a 2x5. Shouldn't cost you more than a few bucks in parts if you have a used parts shop or coop by you.
