Same I live at about 200ft. Riding down was great but I gave up maybe 1/3 of the way up coming home. I'm running 36-52 and 11-30. My bike was a complete build from their website and I asked if I could switch to an 11-34 but they said they don't stock that cassette. It rides great in the flat area I usually go to, if anything I'd drop to 34-50 on the crank as I do like the steps on this cassette for what I usually use it for. Not sure if I'll do the same route next week but I am in talks with my LBS on a new build and will spec it more for climbing.
