Weird hot condition going up long steep grades

Having worked all the bugs out of my cooling system over the last few months ( I dont drive it that often ). I thought I might take it to the coast and run some of the canyons up above Malibu (some of the best motorcycle roads in the world ) to see how well this thing can corner and take a beating. After hitting some traffic on the Highway 1, I headed up Kanan-Dume Road, a long uphill drag that gains about 1500 feet in the first few miles, so it is a fairly steep road. Having not had any trouble with the car running hot, I wasnt looking at the gauge. Well, about 4 miles up, it had jumped up to about 7/8ths of the way up the gauge.
There was no audible detonation ( my first thought ) and the car had more than enough power in 3rd or 4th gear with 3 of us in the car.
Back on level ground and in traffic on the 101 the temp came back down to normal even though the air temp was in the upper 90s!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
LAter,
Todd
