Sig_Arlecchino-
The gearing is not ideal. Not terrible though. You find yourself at the bottom of a climb and remember that this one takes about half an hour so you find bottom gear. You note your cadence is about~70 rpm. You can then either grin and bear it or weave side-to-side like a paperboy to bring the cadence up. Or you can do intervals at a higher cadence and effort, taking the rests while rolling super slowly.
Or just hang on to the back of a truck along with your 4 friends like the young Rwandan cyclists.
