climbs to her feet

[PinkLady]

Consider the following sentence:



"She climbs to her feet, her hands on her hips."



Does the phrase 'she climbs to her feet' imply that she was previously in a seating position?

To me, “climbs” implies that she is using her hands to move up (from somewhere), so her hands could not really be on her hips.
