+ 1. You're not going to make it up a lot of hills with just a wider bar; you have to adjust your climbing method and tempo and, if you do that, your regular bar will be just right.
Sure, a wide bar like a Moustache is nice when standing and pulling hard to grunt up a very steep climb, but this sort of climbing is such that you won't do it for very many meters, and you'll have to get off and walk after a relatively short distance. SS/fixed climbing involves learning to stand and pedal aerobically, and to use your body weight to mash the pedals. That doesn't require a wider bar.
