Keeping your motor cool on steep climbs

I was climbing this big hill, and my motor was screaming. It got me thinking what do you do to keep your motor from overheating when you're climbing? Do you give it more air, take breaks, use special liquids or what?

How do you keep the temp normal?
 
Yeah, I usually take it easy and give the thing some short breaks when I'm going uphill. I learned my lesson after totally frying a motor a few summers ago trying to power through a long hill without stopping. Now, I'll stop about halfway up to let it cool down. I also switched to a better coolant mix last year.
 
I always try to keep my motor cool by taking it easy I learned my lesson after a really tough climb a couple of years back. I pushed it too hard, and it ended up overheating, which put me out of action. Now, I'll ease up on the throttle, keep the air moving, and take quick breaks if it feels like it's struggling.
