Another thing to take your mind off the hill is to focus on your form. I think it's easy to get sloppy with your pedalling form as you struggle up a hill. When I'm on a long hill I think about my pedalling form -- I do my very best to think about keeping my pedalling smooth, form perfect circles, keep even pressure on the pedals, etc. Gives you something else to think about...
