The extra muscle won't make you climb harder (well, it might help with a funky move here or there) But at the same time, i don't think it will adversely affect your climbing so long as you keep climbing while putting on the weight. (and stretch)

If climbing is your main physical activity, then i'd say use the gym time as an opportunity to work some opposing muscles - which will actually help reduce your risk of injury.

Unless you already have big legs - then that's probably the easiest spot to start with adding weight, despite what a lot of people might say, i don't think an extra 5kg in the legs will hurt too much. (especially on watchtower faces ;-) )
