Do 650b wheels help on climbing?

I'm currently running 700c wheels, but I'm entertaining the idea of going 650b. I'm wondering besides the other benefits of better grip and perhaps lower gearing, will going with the smaller diameter wheels help on climbing, mainly loose dirt/gravel trails? Most the articles I read don't really delve into the climbing aspect of 650b, mainly just the comfort benefits. I'd be interested in hearing how 650b fares for climbing. Thanks!
