I've been climbing for about 6 months now and I'm climbing 6b (that would be 5.12, rite?) and have the power for a 7b I tried just this weekend. Also, I'm 195cm tall and 71kg, so that also puts me at very low body fat.
But I still stand by saying that climbing, and bouldering particularly are awesome for getting fit. You don't even get extremely bulk by doing it.
