Best ring/cassette combo for hills

Yeah - I mean talk to the bike shop - the good one, not the bad one, but no frame manufacturer is going to warranty the components (made by another manufacturer). You'll have some sort of warranty on the components, but that's not going to be voided just by taking it to a different shop. Moreover, it sounds like the components need to be changed out to some extent.

The frame manufacturer is only going to give a warranty against breakage in the frame - like the welds should hold for "x" period of time or whatever.

Then you can remind her that there's no shame in pushing one's bike when the hill gets too steep ....
