Very Specific Question - The Coquihalla

[patty]

I've been driving to the Kootenays from Victoria for the past 6 years. I have driven up the Canyon and along Route 3. As a time-saving measure, I am thinking of driving UP (north on) the Coquihalla next week. I am sure this is going to sound stupid, but..... When I drove south on it last year, I remember thinking, I'm so glad I'm not going north. Time issues this year are making me think about biting the bullet and driving north up that steep, steep, very steep hill. Anyone have experience with this. My 2015 Micra is low mileage and peppy enough, but will we be okay?
