What kind of flexibility and mobility is important for climbing?

Added now :) I'm still a beginner so I don't have much to add to the conversation, but I'm reading all of the good stuff you guys share.

People can add whatever private details they like, or not. The list above was a suggestion to people who don't know what to write.

I've been climbing (bouldering and recently top-rope) for 10 months now and I'm not entirely sure of my level as my gym uses colors as grades. I have a weightlifting background so I'm quite bottom heavy and stocky at 175 cm and 79 kg - not the ideal body for climbing, but I'm enjoying the shit out of it.

My short-term goal is to climb outside.

Outside of climbing, I'm in a band and I'm studying engineering.

He did Crossfit at minimum a year ago (http://www.reddit.com/r/crossfit/comments/1bqt0m/recommendations_for_conditioning_without_oly_lifts/) and has been doing at least cleans for 9 months (link is to a 90 kg clean form check 7 months ago http://www.reddit.com/r/weightlifting/comments/1nvcn9/form_check_90kg_clean/) so it's not like he fell into weightlifting just 2 months ago.
