That’s right.
There seems pretty widespread agreement that this is “poor style”, or “breaks the rules”, or whatever. When that happens in any other sport your achievement is disqualified. Doesn’t mean running 100m in 9.75 seconds isn’t a fantastic achievement.
This has raised some interesting issues (re climbing ethics) which, in this case especially, have some interesting technical and practical implications - and the climbing community has the right to discuss them.
