If it hits your muscles (burns or what ever) in the same way you get it from climbing then i think it would help, as too how much i dont know?. Im not sure what most of the things on your list mean but id take a guess 95% of it is useless in turms of getting strong for climbing. Take squats for example, your legs in climbing will push off so many diffrent angles i dont even think squats will help all that much?
Also if i learn right, their is ''how hard'' you can pull on a hold, and for ''how long'' you can do that. I think in wieght training you will only be gaining strength in the ''how hard'' part. Bare in mind on sport the first things to give in are fingers/4arms and typically due to endurence issues (or technique) both of wich i cant see gains from in wieght training.
It may have a bigger help in bouldering though, so long as the right muscles are getting traind with the wieghts.
I seem to be wrong alot, for the record 
Also just a pot shot, but their seems to be no mention of finger training like deadhangs etc. Perhaps it is dangerous to get the rest of your body so strong and then expect your fingers to be able to hold on tight while you power past a crux, may lead to injury and more likely just falling off.
