Will ultra-low gearing on a 700 mm bicycle wheel causes me to break spokes?

I'm too often on roads with hills in excess of 35% grades, and I want to put MTB gears on the chain-set of my road bike - I will have a 22 tooth front cog-wheel and a 32 tooth rear - but that will mean a LOT of torque on the rear wheel. Will I start breaking spokes?

Many thanks to anyone who really knows about this....
