Don't look down.

Two weeks? How out of shape are you? I would say pull-ups and grip exercises, but you need to take a couple days recovery before you clime. So I suggest use ropes!
-
Push ups work your upper body as well as your lower body. You use much of your upper and lower body in rock climbing. Push ups you can do about any place that is flat, and a great work out.
-
better yet, dead hangs. Find a door frame, hangboard (made specifically for climbing training) or some other similar structure and spend time hanging until muscle failure. remember to rest full days between 2-3 days training. also pushups and pullups and cardio too depending on your fitness level.
-
Have you ever been climbing before this or is this a first time? My advice for a first timer is to find a local climbing gym and take an indoor intro course. Rock climbing is dangerous and you need to know what you are doing. Getting back in shape, experienced climber? Again a gym is a good place for a refresher, and you get a great workout. Or, get a buddy with a crash pad and do some bouldering. Running and push-ups, sit-ups, and especially pull-ups are good. But remember, you need a couple days rest before the big climb.

your probably not going to be able to increase your strength much in 2 weeks if at all good luck.

If this is your first time, you get to do it with an experienced friend or guide. Or you can have a practice first in an indoor rock climbing gym. http://find.com/recreation/rock_climbing
