Climb more. Honestly, that's it. Do intervals and repeats on hills.
But, gearing does matter, if your gearing is too tall, it'll make every climb miserable. And your gearing is pretty intense. Check out this
gear calculator. Select gear inches or ratios to comparing the gears. Put in your current crank and cassette, then play with comparisons of different crank, different cassette, different crank and cassette. As others have said you will definitely benefit from a cassette with a larger low cog (the bigger one), and a compact crank would not be a bad idea either.
