What training routine can I make with this hill?

I have a pretty tough hill in my city. Christian Hill, an 800m long, 250ft tall climb that shoots up from 0% to 19.3% for the first 1/3rd of the hill, the majority of the rest of the hill falls between to 8%-18.3% (8% at intersections and then sharp long inclines inbetween until clearing the hill).

I've been working on clearing this hill for a while now, because hills are my weakest area. When I started I could barely manage to sprint past the first 1/3rd before walking my bike up embarassingly. I can now make 3 full runs with 5 minute rests between climbs... I want to be able to climb with a more structured plan though. Any ideas on how to make the most out of my climb? It takes me little over 3 minutes to make the climb.
