I think someone accidentally used the starting altitude (780m) as the actual altitude gain. That is where the error lies, and it has been transposed onto hillclimbr.com as well. On cycle2max the power calculation is therefore more accurate.

If you have a good endurance base already from hours in the saddle, then strength training is definitely the missing link for improvement. I used to only do the long rides and couldn't understand why I could only take of the odd second in my hill climbs. I didn't lift more than a heavy book for years, but I did do core work. After getting a proper personal trainer who could specify the correct weight to push, the correct reps etc. I started doing PBs on everything I touched - and I mean smashing them. Took about 4-6 weeks to peak, and included upper body and back work as well as big leg work.
