Will this hill ever get easier?

Yes, it will get easier.

I've had to learn to love climbing, and I find that singing "100 bottles of beer on the wall" while I'm on a long one helps take my mind off of it.

Ditto!!

Only I sing: "100 shiny new bikes on the rack, 100 shiny new bikes. Take one down, ride it around, 99 shiny new bikes on the rack."
