Default Training?

Besides climbing on indoor rock walls, how else can you train to do the real thing? I would think it takes strength and stamina since you are doing a lot of pulling and pushing off.

Any type of strength and cardio exercise would help for climbing but the best is still to climb.

Climbing doesn't correlate well to most "normal" workouts. Grip and upper back are most heavily involved, but like charley said, climbing(or bouldering) is the best way to train for climbing.
