can you get big from rock climbing?

Rock climbing doesn't really get you big and bulky. It can make you stronger though, just without the massive body size.

There are some people who tend to grow and bulk up faster than others, at least to a certain size. They may get some more muscle mass than others, but for the most part, you muscle mass won't really increase that much.
