Thanks for the article. I agree with the mentality bits. Before I climb up a long hill, I often stop a little bit for water and regulate my breathing. I have found that this is helpful for me.

Also as pinkbikes said, go to hills for training. I often time how long I climb up on certain routes and see whether I improve a little bit or not.
