Default How to landout on a steep uphill final?

I've not had occasion to land steeply uphill but I've thought about that scenario many times. I would plan to carry enough extra energy so that I could round out before arriving at the hill and thereby follow the uphill slope close to the terrain until the energy has bled off and then settle in for a slow touchdown. It may be trickier than I visualize though.
