Vertical pulls, grip work and most of all: rope climbing.

Good post. Want a big bench? Bench. What a wicked rope climb? climb rope.

Chinups are probably a real good bet.

it felt awesome. only ever seen it in one gym unfortunately.

if you cant climb at all som vertical lat exercise.. ex: close grip pulldowns, chinups..

if you can climb abit already.. add some weight on yourself.

but ye like other ppl said repetition is the key

To focus on the back muscles for rope climbing try 3 sets of pull-ups and 3 of chin-ups, alternating.

Pull-up
Chin-up
Pull-up
Chin-up
Pull-up
Chin-up

All close grip. You're switching out the arm muscles but using mostly the same back muscles.

Static DB holds or Farmer Carry for grip.

Oh, and Rope Climbing...
