Just don't award KOTM points on summit finish climbs maybe? The break then plays for spotty jersey points, the gc riders fight up the last climb.

They have tried to combat the top GC getting the Mountains jersey by stopping offering double points on HC climbs.
There were three summit finishes with HC climbs, the other four come in the middle of stages, benefiting breakaway riders. But still....

This is a good idea to keep it as a competitive jersey - but then probably defeats the point of being for the best climber (which it doesn't really anyway because even if Geschke had won today it would be hard to argue he'd been the best climber on this Tour).
