It's seldom catastrophic though. This saddle squeaked for a couple weeks before I investigated and found the cause.

Rolls Titanio on the right. Went back to the classic version on the left.

I stand when climbing to get a better workout - BECAUSE it's harder. Also equalizes my superior climbing speed with my slower companions... I do big gear slow revs out of the saddle while they twiddle along seated in granny gear. Sadly, my superiority has diminished somewhat the last year or so.
