Wasatch,
Where no MCA is given, the following climb gradients are assumed during a climb to a higher MEA:
SL through 5000 feet 150 ft/NM
5000 through 10,000 feet 120 ft/NM
10,000 feet and over 100 ft/NM
You can find the reference for this in FAA Order 8260.3B (United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Proceedures--TERPS), paragraph 1730.
If obstacle clearance intervenes with the above climb gradients at the MEA change, a MCA will be provided to assure clearance.
