I'm no nutritionist, but it sounds like your issue lies with type of exercise vice the food you're eating. If you lift heavy, you're going to bulk up to an extent (genetics plays a role here, along with exercise type and nutrition). Perhaps you should look more into higher intensity, lower weight exercises (to include body weight exercises) to build endurance and power/explosiveness rather than mass. Crossfit.com has a wide variety of exercises that fall into this category, along with videos on correct form.
As for rope climbing, if you're using good technique, the now stronger, large muscle groups in your legs should more than offset your gain in overall mass.
FWIW, I avoid supplements (except for a daily vitamin, and anything prescribed) too.
