What is the best way to train for this. Just keep doing it or is there other things that I should be doing like intervals or strength training.
Hill gets to 16-18 gradient in places and I am running 34x 28 on a road bike.
Thanks

Even if riding that hill without stopping is your goal, it might be better training to ride different hills where you don't need to stop. Better psychologically, that is.
