Yeah, I know it's different on the road, but on a loose surface you really need to keep your bum on the seat when climbing, to ensure your back wheel doesn't spin out. What happens next when that occurs is never the greatest pleasure...If on a really steep climb, there is a very uncomfortable but effective technique called "nosing" which basically involves pushing your weight through the front or "nose" of the saddle to keep weight on the back wheel but simultaneously ensuring your weight is far enough forward to avoid toppling over backwards.
