Check out posts #272 & #278
Summary:
"Climbing ability is a hard trait to articulate - not trying to be evasive,
but this is after-all a 165mm travel bike. It does really well for the amount
of travel it has, but no one's picking this for World Cup XC racing. It does
offer a great pedaling position though, one that is comfortable and efficient.
If you want a bike that climbs as well as it descends (both exceptionally), go
5010.
If you want a bike that can go anywhere and do anything, get a Bronson.
If you want a bike that nearly rivals a V10 in DH performance, but you can
pedal to the top, get the Nomad."
