Is it called 'Rest and be thankfull' because thats what you do at the end of it, when you haven't been killed by it?

As i've heard, it's because back in the days it was quite a task for cars to get up it without over heating, then you "rest" at the top "and be thankful" that it didn't over heat, blow the welds on the intake, fry the piston rings or that your floor pan didn't fall off.
