No, wave your hand and climbing is as simple and straightforward as riding on the flats. Which is hardly straightforward either. Momentum! Inertia! And pay no attention to conflicting forces. GPA outrates gravity. Gravity is a great respecter of persons.
No idea what your point actually is here? How does this relate to one bike climbing better than another with the same rider?
