Why, I have to use my 32/30 to make it up that 600 footer of mine...
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!
