What Gear Should I Be In for These Corners

I rode some turns yesterday that were marked 40 and the cagers were doing 35. I was going 70 of course... Concrete kneewall on one side and UPS truck on the other. Bit hairy.

There are some nasty ones nearby though, that would be OK if they were flat. The roll/camber and several elevation drops mid turn make them extremely challenging. They're marked 20-30, and I'm lucky to hit 35-40. Very blind turns- even if there were no trees hanging over the road, you couldn't see the lower part of the turn for the drop with the hill in between.
