I happen to have fair bit of experience with rope climbing.
Seriously, never ever try to use it for conditioning. A movement can be used for conditioning if a breakdown in technique is not dangerous and you are strong enough to do lots of reps. Since neither is the case for most people - don’t do it. Seriously, you could just as well do deadlifts for conditioning.
