Really, you think climbing would be easy. I think that you forget all of the nuanced rules relating to climbing. How are you going to get on the first level without touching the second? If you manage to get to the first level, how will you be able to reach the second without touching the ground. If you are going for 30, how are you going to get your entire body above the 2nd bar and hold yourself there? Even with the opened up G23, you would have to be constantly wary of not breaking the 54" cylinder.

I have doubts that any person without extensive gymnastics experience could perform a legal 30 point climb in less than 20 seconds. The 20 point climb would also be extremely difficult. Also, the buzzer-beater 10 point hangs achieved by many robots would be all but impossible for humans.
