Crap. Our economy will be overrun by hoards if Mexican mountain climbers. No American peak will be safe.
Try it with a moat full of sharks and crocodiles.
Or even while a vehicle full of burly border guards with handcuffs are speeding toward your climbing position. . .
Plus the window of opportunity on the southern border when the temperature of the metal preventing a climb of the wall would be limited. As I said above, either way too hot or too cold to touch.
I have enough problem with the southern exposure of my front door latch and handle after a few minutes in full sun. We need a hot pad to avoid second or third degree burns while trying to open the door!
We finally bought a Velcro refrigerator door handle cozy (who knew there were such things. . . or people who need refrigerator door handle cozies?) to wrap around the handle to avoid the problem, and I made a matching thumb wrap for the thumb lever. Now we can actually grip the door handle long enough to open the door and not risk an ER visit, LOL.
Think about the temperature of the steel of that border wall after being sun baked with no shade. . . and it would hold it for quite a while. In winter, it would be a heat sink, pulling heat from human fingers. Cold fingers can’t grip.
What would you hook it on? Think a grappling hook is easy or quiet? There are listening devices that will notice that. . . and patrols just minutes away.
the magic word kids here is “replica”..
Hey....what’s that wire on top?

That is holding the giant guillotine....just grab the ones captured and place them under the panel and let it go.
A GREAT DETERRENT...new form of catch and (ALMOST) release
Some on the Internet say that Karla Hancock is a child sex trafficker.
Looks like a gallows. Works for me. Make it to the top and put the noose around your neck.
“She climbed up the side of the structure. In a wall, there is no side to the structure.”
Plus, how did the rope she used for climbing get secured to the top of the structure? Maybe the fairy godmother did it.
Well, when you install every cheat you possibly can, anyone could climb it. Even me, and I gotta use handrails when I’m on a half flight of stairs.
Another thing. . . you ever trek across multiple miles of barren desert toting a twenty-foot ladder? Me, I have enough problem schlepping a five-foot stepladder from the garage into the living room to hang a picture.
When she went around the side (which does not exist on the real wall) she did not have any actual grip on the wall.
One hand is out in the air and the other is flat on the upper portion, no grip at all. Its at -37 to -30 in the video, she is completely sitting in the harness supported by the belayer on the ground.
100% fake.

Acme Air hook? Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner physics? I thought I saw that. . . Thanks for affirming my eyes for me.
Several rolls of concertina barbed wire at the top would stop almost all climbs.
Doggone it! This means that all the expert climbers in the 3rd world will be coming here in droves!!!
Water is at a bit of a premium in that area. And most of the swamp critters moved long ago inside the D.C. beltway.
Would a deep, dry continuous arroyo filled with Gila monsters, rattlesnakes, wall-to-wall cacti, and scorpions do?
LOL! That is good thinking out of the box. Sure - that will work, and also fit in well with the natural habitat.
But terrible PR optics. Can you imagine what the MSM and progressives would do with that?
Try walking barefoot on steel in the hot desert sun.
Fake news.
