I'd have to say that getting up the hill without spending all my energy would be the goal; I might not get up as fast, but when I still have alot of miles to go (and maybe more hills), it would seem the ideal would be as fast as you can up the hill expending the least amount of energy so you can keep motoring on.
I weigh far too much to be a good hill climber; so I'm not even trying to set any records going up these hills. My goal would be to be able to go the distance and not wipe myself out in the process.
