ain't there already a thread about "i hate climbing" or "i love climbing" or "sprint while climbing" or something?
personally, i struggle up hills and even worse up mountains, but on the other hand get bored riding same old flats. luckily, i have to travel a bit to get anywhere remotely close to mountainous - and i have to want to go there, so the problem doesn't present itself that often. this may be why i don't move to the smoky mountains, its pretty but all up or down with some steepness
