Default Question: DP altitude vs MCA/MEA

Here's a question for the group from a low time ifr pilot...

The HASSA4 DP out of Ontario, CA specifies a minimum climb gradient that
would take you over the POM vor at 4400ft and then out V197 to the PMD vor.
The MCA for the POM vor nw bound on V197 is 8300ft and the MEA for that
segment is 10000ft. So can I fly the DP with the given climb gradient or am
I going to have to climb in hold at the POM vor?

Thanks
