Focus on sit ups , pull ups and press ups ...thats it .Use the search button to find good training programs for the above.

Bodyweight excercises are the best and cheapest - so push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups. There's also other stuff like tricep dips and squats, you don't need to buy fancy weight sets at all.

Some squats wouldn't help and neither would some back exercises to help with the rope climbs.
