It's OK to lean as you climb--.  Leaning to a Target EGT as we
recommend works very, very well.  If you're interested in that method,
go to http://www.advancedpilot.com and download the free sample.  It
will explain how to do this properly.
Walter,
 
LOL because:
 
I don't have Power Point.  The "free" sample will have to remain a mystery for now. 
 
But to your power point (I think), that's exactly how I lean in climb, to a target EGT.  That is to say, very shortly after takeoff I look at the WOT, 2700 RPM, full rich EGT on my cyl #4 (hottest CHT by 10-20 degrees) - usually about 1290.  Later on, when power has been reduced by a prop reduction to 2600 RPM and also reduced by altitude, I lean to raise the EGT back to 1290.  Another 2000 (+ or -) feet of climb, lean to 1290, etc. etc............... Is that what you meant?  Or, am I wrong again (this year's total is growing at a rapid pace)?
 
If I had 2 or 4 more cylinders, I would probably just go take the course.
