Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Your bike already has a triple on it, so it can be made to climb pretty well. The easiest way to make your bike climb 'easier' is to swap out the rear cassette for one with a larger 'big' cog. Yours appears to be a 28t, so it's already a pretty deep gear. You could probably fit one with a 32t, without any other changes, and there are 34t and 36t cassettes available, but you'd probably have to switch to a 9-sp MTB derailleur, like the Shimano XT M770. (Hey, look: 9-sp compatibility!)

One thing to think about going into the deep gears like that, is that while it will decrease the effort to turn the cranks, it'll slow your 'ground speed' and increase your leg speed (cadence) at the same time. Learning that balance of how hard you can push the pedals and how long you can keep up a certain cadence is the key. The only way to find it, is to, well, go out and ride up a hill a bunch of times. Not much substitute for practice there. Also, learn how to progressively work through the gears while you're climbing. You don't have to dump everything to the granny at the bottom of the hill, but don't wait until you're about to stall out before you try to force a shift, either.
