my son drives this car and says going up hill he loses speed even though foot all the way on gas peddle.
 
what model is it? if its an auto trany it might not be shifting into a lower gear due to malfunction. if its a manual trany dose he know to shift into a lower gear when climbing hills? or dose the clutch slip? if it has no power in general could be a plugged air filter, retarded ign. timming, low fuel pressure as well as other things. can't say for sure with out more details.
 
It sounds like a clutch or transmission problem.
Maybe just the wrong gear. A 9% grade is hard to accelerate on and impossible to do in the wrong gear.
