As with most cycling things, the article is fairly male specific (if I were a guy, my height weight ratio would place me as a top notch climber-clearly the formula doesn't translate).

The mt. Bike chick website had an interesting article about anaorexia in female pros that discussed climbing vs. sprinting in women's races that was somewhat helpful, but still fairly detached from the level I am at now. I was hoping some ladies who have raced/are racing might have personal insight to share.
