I've been on 70 in that section, visiting White Sands, several times. Nothing special impressed my memory of that road other than it was a standard 2 lane western highway in good shape. Maybe a little hilly in parts. Google maps shows the altitude climbing 400 ft or so fairly quickly when you approach Las Cruces. And then dropping most of the way back down. The climb starts right after the junction with 54 and going west.
You're WAY off on your elevations, my friend. Alamogordo is 4,366 ft., the pass is 5,779 ft., and Las Cruces is between 3,900 and 4,000 ft. depending on where you're standing in town.
