Climbing is one of the most body-shape dependent sports - it's more like horse jockeying than it is like basketball. It's not height that matters, but frame size and natural muscle build. Almost all non-anorexic post-pubescent women will have too high a body fat percentage to be competitive. Lean-but-strong men dominate.
The reductio-ad-absurdum comparison here is chess: men are just better than women. It requires no physical ability. However, a girl that's been training since she was 6 and has a 1700 elo will kick the holy hell out of a random boy that sits down at the chess board.

Hah, I feel like there are two unintentional 3 book series by different authors in sci-fi:
Starship Troopers, The Forever War, Old Man's war
Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Ready Player One
In both of these sets, the first is the original, genre-defining, and by far the best of them. The second is quite good, with an interesting take on similar concepts. The third is a fun read, but upon further reflection is substance-free and as deep as a joss whedon film.
