    Make sure you downshift at top of hill and don't let the rpms get over 2100 coming down.

    One item that has assisted me in navigating the mountain grades is using the elevation graph on the Garmin 770LMT. It uses a quarter of the screen to display a graph that spans 30 miles and shows you the elevation changes. This way you know when a hill or descent is coming and can be prepared for the elevation change.
