How to perform an upward wall slide? - Group of women dance in studio

Every once in a while, when trying to wall jump, Meat Boy does an upward wall-slide instead of another jump. Is that a kind of "bug" or is it possible to perform an upward slide while sliding?

I guess it depends on the right timing you press A while approaching the wall, but I'm not sure.

And no, I don't mean the classic wall sliding that you get from the vertical momemtum of a normal jump.

Does anybody can explain this?
