I've gotten laid off of a mountain climbing achievement. So I'm going to call bull on it not being useful, right off the bat
If I value the accomplishment: it is useful to my self image, if nothing else.
All using such a crutch to top a mountain does in the eyes of others is make you out to be a major pansy. Now were you going to climb that mountain, or cower in your comfort zone, little man?
Also: eat a raw fish eye.

All of these are, of course crutches. But none of them are as bad as letting a machine take you up there with you doing minimal work
Sure, it can be. And as you can see from the corpses: it also can't be. Depends on who's doing it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
