If the 44x19 is fixed, that's a pretty good gear for it. ~62 inches? I've done it both on the fixed setup (always better for climbing) and stock coastable gearing of 40x18 (~60 inches). The last pitch up to the top is a killer for high gearing. But most of it isn't "steep" steep. You just have to keep calm and stay methodical and optimistic. Rest when you need to.
