HTFU your knees.
For strength work on your glutes. And winter is a good time to do this. Go into hills overgeared (one thing fixed has going for it), stay seated towards the back of your saddle, dip your heals a bit and keep your stroke good – keep your body relaxed and stable, not rocking (think Wiggins, not Chris Anker Sorenson!).
Joe Friel says short hills are better than long ones for this. And who am I to argue.
