I believe that if you're looking for hypertrophy in big compound lifts (bench, dead, squat etc) then there's basically no such thing as too much protein and 2g per kg would be good, more wouldn't hurt.As climbers outside of certain training phases that's probably not necessary. I did see some research that said the more trained someone was the better their muscle reacted to a higher protein intake but beyond 120g there was no discernable improvement, I'll try to dig it out.Thing is you can't really have too much protein so if you just whack in some shakes nothing bad will happen.
As I understand it: protein, especially leucine, is an anabolic signaller. Therefore it is better to maintain the signal with steady consumption every few hours rather than peaks and troughs with large quantities of protein at long intervals.

Here it is;https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/6/376Summary/conclusion Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged RET in healthy adults. Increasing age reduces and training experience increases the efficacy of protein supplementation during RET. With protein supplementation, protein intakes at amounts greater than ~1.6 g/kg/day do not further contribute RET(Resistance Exercise Training)-induced gains in FFM (Fat Free Mass)
