In it, I share 7 Tactics for Tackling that Next Steep Hill. These tactics don't really address the mental state that you have to assume to be a competent climber, but rather focus on the tangible, technical skills necessary for defeating those nasty-steep hills.
The specific tactics covered are:
- Don't wait to shift.
- Shift all the way down.
- Choose the right line
- Keep your butt in the saddle.
- Maintain a smooth, circular pedal stroke.
- Remember to breathe, and keep loose.
- "Row the boat."

I found this article very interesting and I am sure that I will be referencing it in the future! The techniques discussed are essential to building refined climbing skills.
As I mentioned elsewhere, I read this post about a week ago - not knowing you guest authored it - And found it to be very well written and composed! The summary at the end is very helpful as well to retain the shared knowledge.
