Hah! I used to ride up that hill all the time on various lil' beemers in the mid-nineties: chrome framed Raleigh Burners, some oval 4130 tubed Peugeot, S&M Dirtbikes, Wifebeaters, Schwinn jobbies. Was always a proof to self type hill when I was 12-16yo, after a couple of times up it became quite a comfortable(pfft...) ascent especially with 42-16 on 20" wheels. It used to be the first challenge before hitting the few bomb holes and trails in Mousehold Woods.
Happy days, thanks for reminding me.
