Kinda depends on the hill - how much run out is there, can I see off in the distance a bit.
I will typically pulse my brakes, light pressure keeps the water off, then apply and release to maintain the speed I am comfortable with.
Also depending on the hill, I might have an alternate route for those times, or even those times when I am not up to a particular section. (I had one of those the other day, severe hip/back pain, so I rode my alternate, less climbing/steep route)
Good luck.
