Sometimes you shouldn't get so caught up in the form. Just getting the job done merits an award. climbing a 20% grade hill is one of them. Don't care if you mash, stomp spin... such climbs are like HC catagory beyond cat 1 climb.

Now unless you have a big heart and an unusually high VO2max like Lance does, its unlikely you will ever climb in that way.
Do what works for you, improve on that, and don't do radical changes unless you have good reason
