To me personally the best climber does not only win but uses the least amount of effort in doing so. This i guess could theoretically mess with the perception of tiers. As i guess some couldn't care less if it takes 10 or 9 minutes, to finish on top. For as long as you take the win and preferably for others to do most of the work. That is IMHO a pinnacle of a proper climber. Maximising the results while minimising the effort.
You should start your own thread with your own list, and explanations how you calculate. Enough from me in this thread.

@AmRacer

Thanks for letting me know.

As for this specific method, discussed in this thread. I feel it's OK to list the shortcomings too, otherwise people might be compelled to take it at face value. If you don't have any other input that is OK, if you do feel free to share it.

You don't have an opinion on what a proper climber is. Your opinion is that Roglic is the greatest thing ever, and everything else follows from that.
