Agree duration is an important factor, an nobody would suggest this was a "real" climb in the tour-de-france sense. I think we are differing mostly on semantics. I would say for a serious cyclist, it will register but would not be any kind of challenge. Not sure why you are bringing elite cyclists (cf again, TDF) into it, there is an absolutely massive gap between the average serious cyclist and the elites.
