I don't know anything about hillclimbing, but why do you need so many cogs? Can't you get rid of a few?

I used the full range last year. For the sake of 10g I'd rather have the right gear. Also, the only removable sprocket on that cassette is the 11.

The other option is go all the way and ride fixed. The fear of choosing the wrong gear and the fact that modern road components make geared bikes almost as light as fixed wheel are the main factors in my decision.

Cool.

I was thinking you could remove most of the larger cogs and just have the smaller ones, and a small front ring (with a longer hi-lo screw on the derailleur to limit range), but I guess that would be stupid.
