And now that I reread my post let me clarify those details - strange what the mind becomes at the end of a long day.
I used to typically ride a 39 x 25 gear (the lowest) on my relatively light (18 lb) gofast bike. Now I would use my 36 x 24 on the AHH. It's really not a steep hill, just long (but beautiful!). Total ascent is really only about 6,500 ft unless you take the last right turn before Summerhaven. That section takes you up to the ski resort and is roughly a 10% - 11% grade.
