I've heard of it being used to evade defense. My main concern is whether referees were ruling things like "antennae" (zip ties, flags, ect) as inconsequential contact and therefore not calling fouls when you zip under the opponents pyramid.
This was a technique we used frequently at CVR to evade tall defenders on our way to and from the feeder station. The head ref made it clear in a discussion I had with him that as long as no one's climb -- or ability to climb -- was affected, fouls would not be given.

I have a recording of said discussion I could post if anyone is interested.
