Yes, illegal might just mean that you take the penalty... but the climb still counts.

I guess we'll find out soon enough!

If you don't want to play in the spirit of the game, JUST STOP PLAYING.
Don't worry, that horrendous attitude towards getting around the rules? It won't be missed. Not one bit.

Might I bring this up again, because it clearly needs to be revisited:

I'm really disappointed that strategies like that even cross people's minds. We're supposed to be better than that, as a community. Why stoop to that level?
