The fit seems fine. No complaints so far. Being 5'10" I sort of feel like almost any size is a compromise for me. M is too small, L is too big. The only frame that has ever fit 'like a glove' is Chromag's M/L frame, but I haven't tried their new geo. This whole longer reach thing on most frames is a god send. Finally Mediums fit me okay.
Climbing efficiency is good enough. It's not XC race weapon fast, but it's acceptable. I'm too much of a hack to really notice any of the subtleties.
