Inefficient pedaling dynamics are best quashed early in a cycling career, "back when" a supple high cadence with the ability to put out the power needed to climb and time trial was the ideal.
Cycling, to state the obvious, is a pedaling sport: There is no substitute for efficient pedaling dynamics on the track or mountain road.
Learning what works best in positioning, style, cadence and sitting/standing alternation comes with seat time in the hills.

Before modern wide range gearing it took a different gritty technique to climb well, normal for the time and what we were used to so unremarkable.
Winter is coming, time to put the FG back in base mile service and work on form and technique......
