I think climbing on a 180mm hardtail would suck - not to mention the huge change in geometry when going through the travel. I swap between a 100mm hardtail and a 160/145mm FS 29er. The FS 29er (Ripmo) is supposed to cut more towards climbing efficiency than others in that category. But, there's still a lot of wheel flop compared to the hardtail. It takes noticeably more effort to keep the bike tracking straight going uphill.
