All good advice. Also, look at Conditioning for Climbers. Horst offers up a bunch of stretches and exercises to do to minimize your risk of being hurt during climbing and for staving off muscle imbalances.
Can't we all just get along?

lift heavy weights. use your back as much as possible, its the strongest part of your body.

Legs are the strongest part of your body.
"But the motto was, never think you're that cool - you're still just climbing rocks...in the woods...with bugs...and everyone thinks you're crazy."
