It's actually a pretty good grade. If you're bored in traffic, drive from 16th to Bow via Sarcee, set your cruise, and pay attention to where your tach is, and how many times it downshifts. You'd probably be surprised at the extra effort even a passenger vehicle takes on that route.
If you drive a stick, leave the car in 5th and try to keep it at a steady speed near the speed limit.
