Good advice.
The way to get better at anything is to do more of it... in this case climb more and often.
Gradually you will get to the top a little more quickly.
One day you'll find you can ride it in a bigger gear.
And what Sundial describes is exactly how I get to the top of two of the gnarliest climbs I do... Seafield is about 14% at the top... Burma is about the same but for longer.
Just focus on the road in front, your breathing and your rythym

Thats how to face a hill.
And like others, I love the quote from the article too: Never attack a mountain, instead, let the climb come to you.
Thanks for the link

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
