Not at all. Whitus might be a bit longer, but not nearly as steep. At it's steepest - Whitus is right at a 6% grade (according to ridewithgps.com) Lynch pops up to almost 12% at it's steepest. I saw you on Lynch - you'll do just fine on Whitus - just gear down and spin.

Thanks Sara for the support! Looking forward to a little break in the upgrade! see you there!
