I've come to embrace the climb! Maybe look into making your SS gearing a bit more climb friendly with a bigger rear freewheel or maybe convert it to fixed? I find the fixed gear riders I ride with are able to maintain good climb cadence since the pedals are in perpetual motion and also due to the straight chain line. One of the strongest fixed gear riders in our group is a woman and she's usually leading the pack!
