Hill climbing

Hi
Does anyone have any tips for climbing steeper hills please?
I find I lose traction and my steering goes all over the place. I end up losing all speed and putting my foot - it's very difficult to start again.
I can climb most hills on my roadie but when it comes to off-road I struggle. Not sure if it's bike set up or technique but I seem to true incredibly quickly whilst climbing. :-(
Thanks
Chris

Then when you get to the top of the hill, refit to a mountain bike setup and do the downhill...
I’ve soon realised that trail riding really does take it out of you mentally and not just physically, you’ve got to be on the ball with everything all the time, what with you gears, your brakes, your lines, looking ahead of what’s coming up, the ground conditions, your balance, where your feet/pedals are….clearly all the things I can’t combine as yet lol… but I’ll get there in a fashion!
