In my experience, big guys (or girls) come out on top because they compensate with power. They even seem at an advantage with a tailwind too, 'cause they have more "sail area."

I might be good in the hills but I sure suck in the wind. And it always blows on the coast!
oh boo hoo. we big'uns suffer more. the suffering on climbs always out weigh any other advantage in situtations where to be disadvantage does not result in pain.
