Found out starting and climbing problems were because of two issues.

Problem 1: Rough starting.
Solution 1: Corroded battery cables. Remade new battery cables and grounds. Applied di-electric grease on terminals.

Problem 2: Rough running about 4-5000 RPM.
Solution 2: Low on oil and oil leak! Put in 2 qts Mobil1. Oil leak being looked at today.

Battery light started to blink 3 days ago. Grounded alternator. Blew 80 amp fuse while grounding. Fuse replaced.

Dropped off at shop today for new alternator. Missing one exhaust bolt.

UPDATE: New alternator installed. No exhaust leaks detected. Small oil leak from valve gasket. Check dipstick once a month. Add oil as necessary.
