My question is where to go inbetween the time I take off and the time I reach 4200', that is not shown anywhere.

Also, are you even able to file a SID for which you don't meet a climb gradient for any of the runways? I am guessing this is an exception since it states the option of a visual climb?

I
think the point of the visual climb is so you do not need to meet the climb gradient. You are supposed to cross LAS (8 miles away) at 4000' if you fly the normal procedure. If you are unable to do 4000' at LAS, then you do the visual climb. That is what I
think is the case, but I'd like someone to confirm it for me.
