"Lucy declared it an easy 5.7 with a tough dyno finish." A dyno is when a climber makes a dynamic move using momentum to get to the next hold.

Lucy is obviously a well-trained, experienced climber. Not your average Guatemalan illegal unaccompanied minor.

Try it when it's 90 degrees out.

Whoops....you forgot about the surveillance.

She also cheated. She went up the side of the solid panel at the top, which you couldn’t do a the fully constructed wall.

Total garbage

And for what? The left says zero miles of this wall have been built.

90 degrees would still make the steel too hot to grip.

Ps.
You could simply use a ladder or toss a rope over too, nobody ever claimed it was impenetrable, its intended to be a deterrent

She climbed up the side of the structure. In a wall, there is no side to the structure.

Spray trucks should apply oil to the real wall every few days.

plus you’d be all sweaty which would make it hard to grip

“Lucy wears a belay, a safety harness designed to catch a falling climber.”

I’m sure there are plenty available for every border jumper. I hear hot air balloons are available too.
