I'm a self-professed "elevation whore," so my tolerance of these uphill holes is probably much higher than most. The "Golden Age" rule that Tom referenced earlier (25 feet per shot) is probably a bit conservative for my tastes. On approach shots, I'm fine with not seeing any green surface as long as I have a piece of the flag to target. There's nothing more thrilling to me than the anticipation you experience when you think you've knocked one close and walking up the hill for the "reveal."
To me, elevation is one of my favorite elements that keep the game from becoming too formulaic. A 150 yard shot on a relatively flat course is the same throughout. But add in elevation and the psychological hazard of partial blindness, and the game is much more thrilling and varied.
But if you want to see what a true 140 foot climb hole looks like, here's the 17th at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY.

I was surprised the first time I measured the climb, because the scale of the land there is big and it doesn't feel as steep as some of the other examples here. I think the hole works because of the scale (but again, I'm the elevation whore). Of course, what goes up, must come down, so the 18th is ~420 yards, but falls ~115 feet (mostly on the tee shot).
Incidentally, the routing of these two holes was changed several years ago. The old 17th used to play up the current 18th, and was a hole that was a bit over-the-top (approach was a bit steep and the fairway was much narrower). Putting the uphill climb on the more expansive par 5 made both holes more playable. These also aren't the steepest holes on the course. The Par 3 15th falls 100 ft over 200 yards and the Par 4 13th drops from 1,890' to 1,690'!!!
