My RP will go up most hills in 3rd, including the Alps and the Pyrenees. Occasionally if it's really steep I might have to revert to 2nd, but if that happens you're generally stuck unless you can get up enough speed to get back into 3rd. The 4 speed crash box is slow. Third gear ratio is slightly lower than 3rd on the later synchro boxes so hill climbing might be a bit slower but easier. I hardly ever use 1st.
