I would actually keep riding the hill the same direction. Use your "have to walk" point as a measure of progress. When I first started riding, I refused to walk a hill. I would stop if I had to, but I would just rest until I could go again. I just took it a little at a time. Now I know that there isn't a hill that I can't climb. You can do it!
