I vote with the bad fan clutch crowd.

Assuming your radiator is in good condition and there isn't anything blocking air flow, I'd also suspect bad fan clutch. However, please verify like I did. Here's my write-up.

Just throwing it out there.... Considering the relatively low speed mentioned while going up hill and since the effectiveness of the fan is in question, do you have a fan shroud installed?

+1.
The shroud is essential to proper airflow.
