I think a lot of teams are really underestimating the difficulty of climbing this year.

There is a good reason its worth so many points.
Yep. If climbing is not your top priority, above gears or fuel, then odds are high you will have a successful climb rate well below 50%.

There are no past games with good reapplies to climb a rope, and one of the volume configurations actively makes climbing more difficult.
