I'm re-gearing my MBGR for the hills on the routes where I live now. Back over a decade, before the move that put me here, the stock gearing (bought new April '72) was just peachy for the (mostly) flat terrain.
There's a hill here Strava pegs at .69 mile in length, 250' elevation. I use it for component testing as well as a measure of my fitness.
