I know exactly what joe means. If you've got the gear right on your fixed then at least you know that more of your work rate will be going directly through the drive chain. Before climbing fixed everyone thinks it is going to be difficult but they are actually pleasantly suprised. the key is having the right gear for the hill in mind. too heavy a gear and you'll blow your knees and thighs.
plus one for Joe
