Landing gear locked down gradient on SID

Hi,


this one got me thinking.

Imagine you take-off, and after the call of positive climb, you ask for gear up.
However the gear does not raise.
Now imagine that you having this problem in IMC and are expected to perform an obstacle critical SID with climb gradients not lower than 5,5%, in an 2000ft elevation and mountainous area.

What do you do?

Continue on SID, advise ATC?
