Yay! I've definitely found that feeling more comfortable on the walls makes a huge difference.
I can now also do a good few negative pull-ups at home on the bar, so maybe one day I'll even be able to do a proper pull-up.
You're totally right that it's not all about strength -- for reference, I climbed my first V4 before I did my first pull-up. And IMHO, it's kind of a weird advantage to start out without lots of strength because it means you have to learn technique.
But.
Strength is nice to have too, and pull-ups are very cool. *g*
