360W? How big is he?
I'm a rather more pedestrian 280W @ 69kg at this current point in time which I think should be fine for 90rpm with 38x27 up most hills without wrecking myself, but I have a bad habit of going hard on the early days and then suffering on day 3 and 4.

That was a while back. Pretty sure he tested 355w when he was around 79kg. Probably similar ratio now though.
I'm just under 300w at 76kg, which sounds amazing to me. But compared to the local Club riders its weak. One of my local 5min Climbs (1,6km, at 6%) was done in 3:35 a month ago. By a guy I ride With that held over 500w the Whole way up.
I have a better beard though.
In more related News. There are lovely flat rides to be had in Mallorca. So just schedule in some recovery spinning.

110bcd seems to sensible option to me. You can still fit 53/39 if you want. 52/36 is a great combo if you have a couple cassettes.
There are plenty of Climbs long enough to warrant gearing that allows you to hold Your preferred cadence. My stronger bud (FTP 360W) rode up all the hills in 34:28. I'd have called him a wuss if I could have gotten Close enough.
