Is that 35 miles round trip or one way? If it's round trip, that's actually not so bad. You'd clearly need an ebike to handle those climbs though.

Also, I don't know your situation in terms of whether you could take trails or cut through parks to reduce the distance? I sat down with google maps and figured out a shorter route for my commute. It actually involves more climbing because there's a ravine trail I follow now, but that's not an issue for the ebike.
