Well I definitely had to stand for the penultimate km. In addition to stopping about 10 times after Chalet Reynard.
Maybe the gearing was too high after all.
22t or even 23t should give you the extra bits (you got 19t I think).
The advice is appreciated, but there's no way I'm going anywhere near that big bastard of a hill any time again soon
