Great tips BMMF, I would only add when climbing fixed short hills can be gunned at to power over and keep momentum going, longer hills it's best to find a steady rhythm and plug away at it, I tend to alternate between seated and scoop the pedals as BMMF suggests and honking out of the saddle to keep the momentum going.
Steep bastards just do everything you can to get another turn on the pedals, tacking from side to side, swearing at the cranks sometimes helps too :)
