I'm not convinced that climbing out of the saddle is good strategy for any long climb. One can certainly put out more power that way, say for a short steep pitch, but my guess is that it's inefficient - meaning it increases fatigue more than it increases power.
I thought I remembered that one change Lance Armstrong made after his big medical recovery (besides, probably, a new cocktail of performance enhancing drugs) was to emphasize seated climbing at higher cadences.
Am I remembering right?
Any comments on seated vs. standing climbing?
