The climbers use their legs to hold the weight, not their arms. Their legs are much stronger and will carry them further.

Balancing requires the use of arms. Hence they cannot be used for holding or shifting weight. When doing moves and sequences that require a great deal of upper body strength, they move quickly through the sequence.
