Poll: How do you climb stairs?

[Atmos Duality]

I have very powerful climbing legs (have since birth, I literally ran before I walked), and regularly employ these by practically jumping up stairs 3-4 at a time.
Even while loaded down with 40+ pounds of books+laptop on my back.

It's the one significant physical advantage I have, might as well make the most of it.

I swear I have never seen ANYONE ELSE climb stairs 2 steps at a time like me.

Am I still that athletic/fit? Or I'm the only non-lazy person left in the world in my area?

 

[imnot]

I run up two at a time.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

I actually managed to jump up my stairs whilst only landing on one step in the middle. It was hard. And stupid. But I did it!

Normally I just run up them so i'd say three.

Alternates between 1-2. Usually 2. Unless I'm carrying something heavy or valuable. Then just one =)

Probably a mixture of both

2.

1 is too slow, and 3 makes me look awkward.

And I haven't perfected my technique of climbing them all at once.... Yet.

Run up them as fast as possible, taking 2 at a time.

Sometimes even 3. I've got long legs.

 

[Davey Woo]

Depends on the size of the steps. But gnerally two at a time.
3 at a time is too much of a stretch for it to be worth the effort.

1 requires my legs to move too fast, 3 means that I move slower due to stretching, I think two is the magic number for stair inclination. Just the right mix of speed and effort.

I climb stairs like a dog using my hands too.

Only when I'm at home though... It gets me weird looks in public. Then its one stair at a time. I'm too short to do two.

 

[superbatranger]

I two step it on the way up, and single step on the way down.

 

[Guy32]

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....

I used to do that a lot when I was younger because the stairs at my house are pretty steep. As I've gotten taller it's faster to just go 2 at a time.

Two steps at a time, usually. For some reason, my subconscious percieves travelling up stairs as a waste of time. Technically, it's more useful than going anywhere horizontally..

 

[Nukeforyou]

3 steps up, two steps down

 

[drisky]

I kind of lunge at the and then kind run up them one at a time, to me its easier when I have momentum then to slowly lift my legs up each step. Also I'm quite short, so two at a time is a bit more difficult.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

One at a time. Sometimes I shuffle sideways up them. I think it makes me faster

 

[TheHecatomb]

2 at a time. Mostly.

 

[Macgyvercas]

two steps at a time. What, you mean there are other ways to climb stairs?

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I walk up one step at a time, on the tips of my toes, as fast as I can. However, when climbing down, I regularly jump the bottom 2 or 3 steps...
