Apparently I don't mind low cadence stuff. Not necessarily the single steepest, but probably the longest and hardest climb in my area is Sandia Crest, a 14 mile, 2 part climb with a brief reprieve about half way up. Starts at 6700ft and ends at 10,700ft. The 2nd portion is steeper and harder, 6.28 miles at 6% steady. Before I got rid of the Ceepo, I climbed it one last time with averages of 261w, 68rpm, 9.5mph. I'm pretty sure there's no race out there with anything quite that bad and that 68rpms didn't feel too bad on a 26 pound bike! I did spend pretty much the entire time in the 56x32 though...
