^^^ There is merit to this. Maybe something in between? You'll have to find out for yourself. For me, I'm not light, so if I spin a high cadence going uphill, I feel like I'm moving backwards or going nowhere fast...whereas if I mash it a little I can get up and over much faster. What does your physiology and fitness tell you is best for you?
