U.S.M.C has been suggesting it to applicants for years to help them reach their pft goals, and it gets results in 3-6 weeks. Not saying pullups are necessary or even important to climbing, but they sure make pretty tri's.

It's not like you can just release the lats and brachioradialis all at once and drop a static shock-load onto your elbows and glenohumeral joints. It seems like you have to actually engage your extensors to some extent to control the descent and avoid injury, no? When I do pullups I can feel the triceps brachii working anyway... maybe that's why they're so hard for me
I don't know... I just don't see it. But I think they might be hard for you because you would be a good match for me on the see-saw.

I was going to come up with a witty retort basically calling out how retarded your comment is, but I am trying to move beyond that so I will just say nothing.
Enjoy your "tri" work out.

To paraphrase Russell Brand, reading between the lines I assume this to be a covert homosexual advance. Thank you for the flattery, word of my physique must have reached you.
