In my opinion, strategically the best climber is the fastest climber. A climber that takes half a match isn't worth it.
A climber that takes half a match but also dumps is pushing it.
A fast climber is worth it.
A fast climber that dumps is gold. (<10-15 seconds maybe?)
See 1114 (pre-cmp elims) & 254.
Both valuable and strategic climbers, but different methods.
