Everybody has a their limit on ascents. You may be much greater on certain ascents than other cyclists, and they no doubt will be able to out climb others.
You may consider a certain hill as mere child's play, were others might consider that same hill as a major challenge.
Yes people have their limits, but limits are made to be overcome. People tend to get better at climbing as they get more experienced on a bike.

Then find a better bunch, if they are cursing out something they are not of the right mindset. If one hates climbing, one's not trying or willing to get stronger.
Here, yes, got plenty of climbing, but also have a selection of everything else.
