I admit I don't practice it most of the time, but I have to say I think that hills are one of the situations where taking the lane is MOST important.
Sure, it's annoying as h3!! to the drivers when they have to poke along behind me on a steep ascent. But not as annoying as it would be for them to hit an oncoming driver head-on... or punt me off the side of the hill as they swing fully back into their lane to avoid said oncoming driver.
Most drivers do have the sense to stay behind me on hills even when I don't take the lane. It's the other ones that I worry about.
