No worries SaiKai,

I'm sure you could have done the same ride, esp. since you have a triple. Maria was the first one to the top of Mojeska Grade because she did have a triple! Mojeska is 18% at the start, 15% at the finish . . . so I was under-geared with my compact SRAM 34t x 26t.

Basically, I think you'll be able to ride any climb you try. It's just a matter of how long it will take, and how much you will suffer. Of course, having that triple helps!
