You missed a hack - lose weight. I regularly ride with guys around 75 kg with an 8 kg bike (guesses), that's 83 kg. I am around 87 kg and have a heavier bike, say 12 kg, that's 99 kg. A 16 kg difference, so I'm pushing a lot more than them up that hill. I can buy a lighter bike (real soon now!) but I can also hack some more weight loss. (To my credit I've already lost around 22 kg).

Lasty shifts gears like a court stenographer. Some kind of automated magic. Would be great to get a video of Tom slowing down to explain what he's doing. I know GCN has videos about shifting gears, but I haven't seen one go to basics like "shift up two when you go out of the saddle."

Active breathing is really helpful. Sometimes when we are pushing hard we are either not breathing enough or holding breath until we are in extreme exertion then breathing goes crazy. Actively pushing out air completely and taking full control breaths in helps a lot. Sometimes it even feels like an immediate boost. I'm still working on it . That and cadence are the top two items to work on. High cadence is just as fast as grinding but you can amazingly go so much farther. I'm working up to the mid 90 to around 100. Pretty amazing how much longer you can spin (and ride) even though you feel near max.

Move forward on the saddle, flatten your back, wrap your hands around the shifter hoods, line up your hips to the crank as close as possible and you'll find you're expending less effort and going faster too. It's a technique that should help along with the other tips, especially the breathing one.

Slightly wider handlebars can make a difference as well. Standing on the pedals is much easier for me on 42cm bars than 40cm. Also get used to shifting through the gears quickly. Shift up a couple gears before standing to achieve lower cadence. I generally give the shifter three clicks before I stand... Trainingwise, I find it helps to do some 2-3 mile runs at threshold pace every once in a while. It pushes my threshold up and also builds my legs a bit. It should be said that I'm still a middling climber, but I've gotten faster these ways.
