Seems to me that for the most part rock climbing is a concentric exercise - the muscles are shortening while contracting when you pull yourself up with your arms, or push yourself up with your legs. I'm just not sure about the "hanging there" part when you're planning a move; probably eccentric. Not sure if there really exists a purely concentric exercise. Thoughts?
Seems like for the shorter bouldering problems you can avoid hyperventilating, so seems like a plus.
