Further, starting this way doesn't automatically invalidate your later climb. You just need return to touching level 0 in a valid climb orientation (including bit touching level 2) before conducting your actual climb. Put it this way, it's perfectly legal to say, shoot by pulling yourself directly up to the 3rd rung (why you'd want to notwithstanding)--you just can't get climb points by staying there.
If you can touch the second rung starting inside your frame perimeter, under 84" tall (if contacting your autozone), without being in any way supported by the pyramid, and abiding by all other rules (remember G07, maybe?), you shouldn't have a problem. I've seen a few robots this could makes sense for, like say those arm shooters who might want to start inside on occasion.
