you've got your point hippy but i'm not really a racer i do tend to keep my bum on the saddle on climbs. not those hard ones though.
i stopped being a masher since i started riding fixed. and my point is that it's more about the rider than the bars if we are to consider climbing.
by the way i've got 3 bikes all have drops and i have another 2 drop bars sitting in my room ;)
narrow risers are useful for tricks though. basically the only practical thing for doing bar flips (ok ok i know...). i'm also considering them for my polo bike i'm building because drops do get in the way of the mallet.
