My response to your scenario would be to begin the ascent at the highest speed I could comfortably allow, given the consequences, then allow that speed to drop off slowly while staying in high gear as long as possible.

If your car is an auto then lugging is virtually impossible. If manual then it is possible.
I think 1 k rpm is fine and modern fuel injection will not allow the flooded component of a carb with accelerator pump being floored at too low an rpm.

EFI has no such fixed displacement pump that could be emptied too quickly for a low rpm engine to be capable of efficiently consuming that fuel.
