It's a good climb up Chartridge Road, but the steep part at the beginning can get parked up, and then it's a tight squeeze for cars to get past you due to there being an island in the middle, separating the upward lane from the downward lane. Sometimes cars will be on your tail all the way, if there are no gaps in the parked cars to allow them past. That or they'll squeeze past very close to your elbow. But it's not always like that, and when there's room for bikes and cars to co-exist it's a decent start to the climb. Once you get over the brow of the steep part it rolls off very gradually and you can increase speed continuously. The road that follows, all the way through to Wendover, is a fantastic cycling route through woods and fields.
