Even worse than Hardknott Pass . Certainly wouldn't want to do that fully loaded.
I did, 46/30 and 14-28 freewheel, nice spread of gears and able to climb with 30/28.
Can see where Hippy is going, I always ride 46/30 as it work on my own, if in group, 48/32 work better.

If I'm taking it easy when commuting (I do sometimes listen to coach) then the 50T is too big for nice chainline, hence the move to a 46 or 48T outer. I can't drop the inner any more than 34T because 110bcd powermeter won't allow it. So, move to larger cassette will solve issue.
I've just not tested it yet.

Edit: eesh, even the streetview looks tough! It usually makes grades look tame compared to reality.
