How does bike fit affect technical climbing?

Good fit = easier climbing, bad fit = harder climbing (ebikes sure help)

In How to ride up a ledge, Rod commented:

I take it that Lee’s bike is RAD neutral.

I can see the handlebars at the hips as he rises over the rock.

Are we skunked if we try this and the bike RAD is RAD+++...?

Here’s how bike fits affects your ledge-ups, along with some practical tips.
