Technique?Technique for hill climbing??--turn on that switch in your mind that prevents you from moving your legs.
Training? As fixed gear riders, there comes a time when you can't just take your body as it comes and when you're in your 50's like I am, building strength takes longer.--Age doesnt matter, just make sure you eat a lot of veggies,fruits, legumes, and you'll build strength in no time.
Weaponry?--Clipless pedal set up along with some bullhorns. having a pursuit frame with a short wheelbase helps me climb.

This^ minus the last part regarding cannabis... drops are also good bars to tackle hills with; make sure you go down into them when you approach a hill.
