Height to weight ratio doesnt mean jack. All about the power to weight ratio and that golden number is right around 6.2 - 6.5 w/kg.
But if you want a list of good climbers of the current peloton look at:
Nario Quintana
Romain Bardet
Warren Barguil
Mikel Landa
Wout Poels (kinda)
Esteban Chaves
Sergio Henao
Chris Froome is NOT a good climber in his own right- he has the best team that is extremely good at riding his threshold tempo.
Best Climber the US has right now:
Ian Boswell
Joe Dombrowski
I'd put my money on McNulty among the US guys. Hard to forget about Dombrowski at Baldy, though. Still rooting for him.
And of course Froome is a good climber, don't be ridiculous. He's just stressed out way more than normal right now due to his proceedings and likely isn't on the same sauce as normal.
