We climb and we exercise. As climbers, we are pretty active. We utilize many or most of the major muscles and smaller ones also. We also have additional non-climbing workouts such as weight lifting. Of course this is not true for all climbers, but for many it is.

do hand grippers help climbing?

They can be a useful tool when combined with climbing-specific exercises and training. However, climbing involves more than just grip strength, so it's important to have a well-rounded training approach.
