If your only concern is climbing then the cheapest thing to do is to just swap out the chain ring for a 34 or 36.
Order from Praxis or like me, Blackspire.

As you can see, Blackspire has rings down to 26t, though it's probably faster to just walk.
Blackspire is little less expensive and is more blingy.
Be careful ordering the ring, the link is for non boost; not sure what you got on your bicycle.
Fairly easy to change, all you need is a 8mm hex for the cranks, and a 25 torx for the direct mount ring.
Keep every else the same, just need to adjust the chain for length.
Seriously though, don't order a 26t.
