Now I pretty much down shift to second, put on the 4 way flashers, and try and be as courteous as possible to let others pass. And even on the steepest passes that is usually only for a couple of miles..
Lastly, the shudder is probably due to a warped rotor, are brakes gone on both fronts? or just one side, if the later I would sure wonder about a stuck caliper.
