That would mean that it was not a legal climb because you are in 3 levels at one time (0, 1, 2). But that is the wrong interpretation. Airspace is not part of the pyramid of the corresponding level; but it is still part of the "level" when counting points. The pyramid is only the steel structure.

That makes sense, Otherwise any robot thats over 60" tall near the pyramid would be in violation of that rule.... They really should clarify slightly more.
