Generally I don't. I pick a gear and I climb. Same as I do on my MTB with rapidfire trigger shifters and 9 speed rear end. Shifting under a heavy load is a good way to wreck a drivetrain. Under lighter loads I have no problem shifting the bar end shifters, seated or standing. That is all I have used on all my road bikes for many years.
