I know this is kind of an odd question, but are there any rock climbers (sport, trad, bouldering, etc..) in our community that have gone through HRT?

I'm curious because it is one of my favorite things to do, and am wondering how much harder I am going to have to work to maintain my current level or exceed it?

I'm kind of curious what the effects of HRT will have on my climbing experience.  If anyone has any experience, please let me know.

I've done a little climbing before and after and I've lost a LOT of upper body strength while on hrt. If I planned climbing regularly, I'd have to spend a lot more time at the gym to make sure I was prepared.
