I'm not the fittest but I've done it on the geared bike, found it fine as long as you take it slow, and stand on the pedals just for that really nasty bit where it the road kicks up almost vertical after the cemetery gates.
also tried it on the single speed a couple of times, it's death, nearly toppled over last time before conceding I was going to have to get off and push. happens a lot, hence my rubbish forum name.
I think i will try it on the geared bike! At least i might and only "might" make it to the top! Swains lane FTW? I think more like for the lunatics!
