Don't get out of the saddle on climbs, fit lower gearing.
If you do still get out of the saddle, control power and body weight distribution (inb4hippyisfat) so the wheel doesn't spin. If you slam down on the pedals while springing forward out of the saddle, you're unweighting the rear wheel and it's gonna break traction. Smooth out power application and adjust posture to control weight between the wheels and you can control wheel slip. Sometimes it's unavoidable but mostly it should be controllable.
