I have been climbing for 1 year, as of july 1st. My only training (besides some cardio) is climbing itself. I have gone from climbing 5.8's to leading 5.10b's. Be careful that you don't overtrain, and especially beware that tendons get stronger slower than muscles. This is why athletes that abuse steroids often have tendon injuries.
The fastest way to be a better climber is to learn good technique. Your legs will always be stronger than your arms, and good balance, technique, and smart movement can improve your ability regardless of your grip strength.
