While climbing directly probably won't really help, the walk-ins etc. probably will. It my also give you the psyche to get in better shape and hit the broccoli.

No, the climbing will help ya. I'm 5'2" and when I got back into the game, 3 years ago I was over 210lbs. I didnt do an approach more than 15min long nor did I quit eating grotesque amounts of bacon and I went down 40lbs in the first year.
Well, I'm just rolling on the statistics (might find them in a minute) that gave some pretty pathetic numbers for the energy burnt doing a route. And from my experience of having training at a (very) close indoor wall as my on exercise for a summer (the summer before my USA trip). I got really strong, but chubby. Wasn't really eating that much, just wasn't burning much energy.


Edit to add, though: it's definitely better then nothing. getting active in any way is incredibly important.
