Standing to climb isn't typically done much on mountain bikes. This is why fit is so important. With the correct fit, you just scootch forward on the saddle, boobs to the tube, saddle at correct height, and you should be able to climb almost anything.
Standing for a climb on a mountain is usually only done in racing, or some other situation where you need a little power burst to get you over the top. I can't imagine doing sustained climb standing.
