It is going to vary greatly.

I did a ride on Saturday with a pretty tough climb. The first time up it my HR average was 157 with a high if 170. My lactate thresh hold for climbing is 178.

We rolled down and did the same climb again this time working much harder and my average was 165 with a high of 180. I was 3 minutes 40 seconds faster the second time over the 1.75 miles.
