Poll: How do you climb stairs?

[SalamanderJoe]

I run up them like a dog. True story.

 

[child of lileth]

One at a time, unless I'm at home or in a hurry.

 

[IamQ]

I've got quite long legs, so it's uncomfortable for me if I don't go two steps at a time.

 

[Death God]

I'm lazy so I don't over reach any steps. So one at a time.

 

[Custard_Angel]

2 at a time. Crabwalking. On stilts. Doing a crossword. With a scalpel. On a bear.

No one said it was easy.

 

[Nouw]

Depends on the size of the stairs. Usually 1 step at a time.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I climb two steps at a time. I've got long legs, so taking it one step at a time's more energy consuming.

 

[BrassButtons]

One step at a time, and with a death-grip on the railing.

 

[WorldCritic]

Two by two, Hands of Blue. Oh wait.

 

[Necrofudge]

If nobody is looking and they're the stairs in my house: four steps at a time dashing on all fours.
Otherwise one or two steps at a time depending on where I am.

 

[Browbeat]

I vault stairs whenever possible. It is seen as aggressive and unnecessary, but the momentum gives me a thrill. Otherwise, a fairly brisk 2-3 step stride will do -also earning me enmity as looking impatient...

 

[Betancore]

One or two at a time, and if I'm in a hurry, I climb over the banister at the last few steps. This is mainly when I'm going down the escalator and I'm late for the train, though.

 

[smithy_2045]

I vary, but 2 at a time is probably about right on average.

 

[aschere van she]

I dunno. it depends. I suppose it's usually either 1 or 2. I really have never thought about it

 

[Jonny1188]

2 steps at a time in public, on all fours at home if no one is looking (and I'm amused and glad that I'm not the only one).

 

[Korimyr the Rat]

One at a time, slowly and painfully. I'm starting to need my cane again, but I'm still not ready to admit it.

 

[Sacman]

I use hands and feet...

 

[Biosophilogical]

UP: Two at a time. Face it, three strains too much to be normal and one is so slow it becomes awkward.
Down: Either jump them, go down two at a time or do the little one-at-a-time speed-stepping thing.

 

[tomtom94]

Quickly and efficiently, 2 to 3 steps at a time if I can help it.
