what is the grade on that?
is it all steady or is there a part where it suddenly jumps to 30% for a few hundred feet?
have you tried using different cadence and gears?
go faster

isn't that like a cat 3 climb?

Google says 6km@4% grade is a cat 3, and you're doing ~7km@3%, and on top of that you have to consider that mondo half mile climb at mile 3, and the little dick-punch right after it, I'd say you shouldn't really be insecure.

It's nice in the morning because I ride down that, I hit 35-40 mph coasting down that monster hill but it's what kills me going up. I actually have to stop twice on it for like a minute each at turnota

That's a decent climb don't be too hard on yourself.
I wouldn't be able to do much more than 8-10mph on it myself on my MTB

try just making it up in 1 shot then after a few weeks to months of that you can be harder on yourself. force yourself to go as hard as you possibly can for 20 minutes and that is where you will see tons of improvement

I know, I converted everything its just that the cheat sheet for climb categories was all in metric

and about the stopping, just try and remember where you stopped last time and get like, 20 feet further up the hill. Eventually you'll fuck it up the whole way in one shot, then you can work on improving speed.

that and look up general climbing tips, make sure you're as zenned out as possible and only moving your legs without wasting energy and creating unnecessary side to side movement and shit
