There are lots of techniques at the cyclists disposal to improve climbing, and I find varied courses offer the most gains. I think steep climbs, over 12% offer the greatest pure force gains. Do intervals sitting, and really pull through on the 6-11 o'clock and start the next stoke from 11. Cadence should be real slow and make sure you go straight, not wobbling or turning the bars, hands near the stem and really feel it through upper body. One of the greatest assets to my power to weight ratio is a strong, but lean upper body. Build this core strength on the saddle, and then when you need to climb out of the saddle, your arms/shoulders don't let you down and you can find a powerful smooth rhythm. In races, I climb a lot out of the saddle, or 'Dancing' as it is called.

It is really simple, really. Just climb, and then climb more and more and more. Whatever you ride, whatever you weigh, I guarantee you will go faster. There is no substitute for hard work and sweating out hours on the climbs. Fact. ;):)
