Poll: How do you climb stairs?

[Gunjack65]

This is a question that has been picking at me for some time, how do other people climb stairs?
Me? Im a fan of the two at a time method, more work but slightly speedier. How about you?
Ah what the hell, say how you go down stairs too!

 

[lee1287]

run up them then when i get too the top sort of stumble back and fall down them. Or when it's dark, i think there's more steps so i lift my leg and just fall over..

 

[The Cheezy One]

Long legs, 3 at a time!

 

[deadguynotyetburied]

I climb stairs as infrequently as possible.

 

[Gray Monk]

All the real men go three steps at a time, its a fact.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Two steps in a nice sprint. Not tall enough for three.

 

[ShadowKatt]

I do it on all fours. I don't have the greatest depth perception.

That being said, it classical Katty fashion, it's much harder to get back down than it was to get up....

 

[LastMondaysHangover]

2 Steps at a time. You should see me fly up escalators!

 

[Jedamethis]

Two at a time. Though there are these stairs at my school that the steps are slightly too tall for two to be comfortable, and yet too short to take one at a time. Annoying as hell.

 

[Amphoteric]

2 steps all the way.

 

[Dango]

I usually go one step at a time, and I usually use my tippy-toes.

 

[Trivun]

I do two at a time, it's much quicker and since I'm fairly tall (and so I have longer legs) it's actually much easier for me than going one step at a time...

 

[HeySeansOnline]

Depends on the stair dimensions. Normally one, sometimes two. If it's a couple of steps all at once. And I always go down one at a time, fairly speedily. One of these days my stupid bookbag is gonna mess up my balance though.

 

[Nihlex]

I run up every 2nd step or walk up every 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

It depends, the ones at home I'll leap up at 4 at a time, anywhere else it's 2 at a time (the manly way). Coming down however, is usually the little one at a time run people do, or just a jump if they're empty.

 

[EeveeElectro]

One at a time, and quite fast until I get out of breath.
I'm too short to climb 2 or 3 at a time, and my balance isn't too good.
I used to run up on all fours but grew out of that.
Walking down, I have to hold on to something and if I have my hands full, I'll walk very slooowwllyyy.

 

[Keava]

In boots - 2 steps a time, in heels - 1 step a time, at work - 1 step a time, at house - 2.

 

[Dexiro]

Depends on the size of the stairs and where I am/what I'm doing.

If I'm holding something, one at a time. If my hands are free, 2 at a time.
If I'm at home I charge up them on all fours x3

 

[rokkolpo]

two I think.

yet I can manage six (flexible)
