There'll be a Q&A question to by this afternoon at the latest, so no need heat up the debate too much. Anyone interested in suspending, stay tuned.
What Siri says. There's nothing in the rules that says you have to touch a particular level before you can be scored in that level. This interpretation assumes that if you're only touching the floor, you have a valid climb. Then you proceed up the pyramid and have the chance to invalidate your climb by breaking one of the two climbing rules. Once you invalidate your climb, you have to go back to the floor as the starting valid state.

The opposing interpretation implies that you have to actively fulfill those two rules to create a valid climb. Which raises the question of whether you have to climb all the way to level 3 to create a valid climb, since the rules don't mention anything about stopping.
