The most basic injuries you'll get from rock climbing: calluses on your fingers, you can get cuts and scrapes and bruises, especially if you lead climb you'll probably be falling and you're not always falling in the most ideal situations. So you can get banged around a bit. If you take a very nasty fall or you land on a ledge or you have a poor blayer who drops you, you could expect a broken ankle or a broken leg, but I've never personally seen any of that happen because I've put myself in situations with other competent climbers. The worst fall I've seen from someone I wasn't climbing with, at Tockeath's Rock someone on a multipitch climb decked on a ledge and broke their leg. It can be bad, but like I said, if you know what you're doing you can mitigate it.
