supersix hi-mod comes to mind for a great bb30 frame. cdale brags about it winning the KOM so its marketed as a great climber.
if bb-30 doesnt matter, bmc's team machine and canyon's ultimate cf slx are great and are fairly comfortable for a being a "racy" bikes

An acquaintance just got to extensively test the 2011 S-Works Roubaix SL3 up in the Rockies and said, "Wow! Worth the wait." I'm no expert, but he is. All-in-all it also seems the stiffness & packaged prices on the 2010 Tarmac & Roubaix SL3's are a pretty tough combo to beat without going the full custom route. Another friend just bought a $15G custom with DI2 and it seems to me the $8k SL3's with SRAM or DA are maybe better climbers at a much better price point. But then you have those Cervelo paint jobs ... so gorgeous. Nice to have your choices.
