Granny gear or compact cassette for Moab?

[li10up]

Thanks all...I guess you could tell by my post I really like the "mean pink climbing machine".
As for compact double it is as follows:
Shimano Ultegra SL Compact, 34/50 teeth
Rear Cogs 10-speed, 12 - 25 teeth

And yes, I think I just need to keep training and do the BCR as much as possible. I can always walk (duh) and It is a vacation and lesiure trip. I am going to see teh sights! (And very excited about it!)

What is the size of your smallest chainring on the triple and the rear cassette? You can plug it into a gear calculator and see the difference.

When I went from a triple to a compact double I really only "lost" one gear. Didn't even notice it.
