Short answer, yes.
Longer answer, it is possible to improve your climbing, even (especially?) if you start from a low baseline; so don't be surprised if one day, one of the guys who you are dropping up hills now, turns around in the future and starts dropping you. However, you appear to be starting from a good baseline, so if you're happy to be the mountain goat of the group, then carry on as you are.
