if one of your main goals is to lose weight then you should consider interval training. Hill climbing is a serious mutha but isn't going to help you lose weight. The intervals will. But...I trained for hill climbs on the road not the dirt. I have three different hills that I do repeatedly. every time I do a hill I increase the intensity by climbing in a fatter gear. If you're not at all accustomed to it try setting the rear derailleur onto a middle-ish gear and leave it there. Then flip back and forth between the front rings to alter intensity.
