Try to keep your rpm's low, under 2200 rpm, more or less. Adjust the pedal based on the amount of power you need to keep moving up the hill, but don't floor it all the way. If your rpm goes down to the point where you are not getting power, downshift. Try to crest the hill at the lowest speed possible (as traffic allows). This takes good timing and judgment to know when to throttle off and try to coast over the top, creeping along at the peak of the hill, then rollercoastering your way down.
