Yeah, sounds low to me too. But I've been surfing single speed sites in the US, and looking at ratios for use in the mountains (I live in Norway, next to sunnmøres alps). 31:18 looks to be a good alrounder. I might push it up a bit though, as I'm expecting to be doing alot of shouldering/pushing anyway :)
As the cyclocross folk say.
"any slower and you might as well be running"
