Rock climbing requires a tremendous amount of body weight strength in order to climb uneven often near impossible rock faces. The ability to hold a position close to the rock surfaces is essential to maintain an even balance and ultimately traverse a rock face. This is a result of extensive strength and endurance training of the fingers and forearms, upper body pulling, core and legs. Flexibility also plays a major role in order to contort the body into positions to navigate the rock surface.
I have come across a few interesting videos about rock climbing and training which you may find interesting involving training and some interesting information regarding the physiological demands placed on rock climbers.
