I'm not suggesting that. In fact, I am suggesting the opposite. One would not hesitate to bring water, even though the added weight is greater than the difference between my steel frame and a carbon frame on a lightweight "climbing" bike. I've also never heard anyone complain that their bottle of water was slowing them down climbing hills.
