but I could use the bar to do that via hangs, start in the pulled-up position and descend, right?
Yup! Also there are various ways to subtract weight, including putting one foot on a chair, using a strong resistance band, or using a pulley system.
Also you can do rows (which at least one climbing training expert has argued may be even more applicable to climbing, because we're mostly pulling in to some degree rather than straight down). All rows are awesome, and it can be easier to modulate the weight with them.
