Box jumps can legit help for climbing if you're doing competition climbing. Explosive power for the dynos is really important. It isn't the only exercise for it, but it's one of many.

US ski team uses box jumps in their training. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb0osnxN9NY

They are also part of the fitness test for team placement. https://www.usskiandsnowboard.org/sites/default/files/files-resources/files/2024/SkillsQuest-Fitness%20Manual%202024.pdf

Yeah, that makes sense. There are plenty of sports that box jumps would be an appropriate training tool for, just not rock climbing or powerlifting. I'm not sure how this relates to my comment.
