Nobody has brought up biomechanics or how the system changes as the grade increases... I noticed something in the data with my clients who use the Kickr Climb, when the front fork is elevated their torque drops off. That's because their body weight is no longer over the pedals. With steeper grades the rider position must also adapt.
As for gearing, to keep the largest muscle engaged you need to stay within a very narrow cadence range. The big jumps in an 11-34 are way too large. You would be better off running a mountain bike small cog like a 20T and running something much tighter in back.
But what do I know about climbing?
