it seems to me this satisfies, sequential order, and only touching two at a time

the rules do not demand using zone 1 to propel youreself to zone 2. you could do it from 0, as long as you contact zone 1, and let go of it before contacting zone 2.
I don't think that this interpretation would be true. If you contact level 0 and 1, then let go of level 1, your climb has been reset. You are now starting your sequence over, and lifting by contacting zone 2 from the floor is, obviously, out of sequence and not a valid climb. . To support this statement I leave you an excerpt form section 3.1.5.2 of the game manual.
