Fixed is better than singlespeed for climbing, granted, but it's not as good as gears. Being able to vary your gearing in relation to the climb is far more important than having a bit of inertia through the dead spots. If you're loosing power through the deadspots when you're climbing, you're doing something wrong or you're going much too slowly.
