It's not even a issue of traction for me, I just flat out don't have enough power.

Try a little finesse versus power. Middle chain ring, 2nd cog and sit on the nose of your saddle and get forward. You will be amazed at what good weight distribution and proper gear selection can do :)

if you sit on the nose of your saddle on any climb, it helps keep your rear wheel planted.
