When you say it took you several seasons to get good at carrying a pack uphill, what does this mean exactly? Are you referring to ME training, or are you talking about doing aerobic hikes with a weighted pack in your base period? If it’s the latter, please have a read of this topic where I recently responded to a similar question. This post in the Military section of the website is a good reference too, and does a better job than me of explaining the correlation between unweighted running performance and rucking (i.e. heavy pack carries in the mountaineering context) performance.
