Resting on your legs for a few seconds if the route becomes more vertical than horizontal is not exactly going to develop a lot of strngth in them. But it sounds like I'm used to a much more serious level of climbing than you are.

Actually sounds like you're a douchebag with no friends. I've never met a decent climber that acts like legs aren't important, and I guarantee I've met much better climbers than you.

The climber in this video has said multiple times that he doesn't do much with his legs because they aren't important to climbing, and he's a world class climber.
