Then, how would you maintain your climbing power if you do them only at the start of the season. I feel
it has to be "sprinkled" at least every other week to maintain your climbing "shape".

Don't you think?

I do most of my climbing, specially the long climbs seating, and my saddle height is adjusted to where I feel my pedaling is fluid, w/o rocking from side to side and yet being able to heel down if necessary on the up stroke.
