How much you weight? The heavier you are, the more watts you can generate. The duration of your effort? Normally, it is 1 hour. Average watts you can generate in 1 hour. For testing purpose, there are ways to estimate FT (functional threshold) such as doing 2x20 TT full effort interval. For me, average watts over 2 x 20 TT is 250w. I weight 130lb. That's about 4.23w/kg. My climbing watts over a 5 minutes climb I can generate 304w. About 5.23w/kg. I can also attack on the climb at 350+w for over 1 minutes.

As of now, my avg. is in the vicinity of 250-270.
Edit:
Find a hill (or mountain)you know the height and distance of and go up, and keep track of the time!
You gotta use metric for this!
gravity = 9.81m/s^2
Change of PE = mass X gravity X change height
From there, you get Joules (A.K.A work, and PE).
Power (A.K.A. watts) = Work/Time. Divide your Change in PE by the time it took you to do the climb. There's your power
