Rock climbing will help with proprioception and recruitment. It is not a muscle building exercise. To be honest, kettlebells are not a great muscle building program either. Useful for stabilising muscle groups, but so are any free weights. Which is what you want to be doing to build muscle, free weights. Particularly barbell lifts. Deadlifts, Squats, military press, bench press.
Climbing is fun, particularly bouldering. I've been an avid climber since I was about 12. Its fun and challenging but it is not muscle building.
