Got my winter tyres fitted thankfully. This hill is very steep. Gear? Engine braking?

Many thanks all- made it in one piece! 1st gear, tickling the brakes very very occasionally- no dramas. The stress beforehand is the worse bit! The more you worry, the more difficult you are making it for yourself!
Good suggestions- though some a bit odd!
Car was an 09 MINI. No traction lights or anything popped up- great tyres. Couldn't get anywhere on my summer Dunlops last year, but my pirelli winters are genuine peace of mind!
