Something must be lost in translation and therein lies the answer.
And I am guessing the answer has nothing to do with gearing or cassettes
Climbing comes effortless to me due to my weight and aerobic fitness. you have to agree 2 riders one with 165 lbs other with 220 lbs with same fitness level. 165 lbs will climb lot better. but there is no way he is going to be pedaling as hard as a 220 lbs rider on flats.
