Someone should have let her know she could climb it easier and faster with a cheap ladder

Only one problem with her climb, Augustine...when she gets to the top portion she's using the edge of the wall to finish. Those wall panels would be side by side with no gaps in the top sections. As someone who climbed rock for years I can tell you the only way past a flat top section like that would be an actual "dyno"...attempting to vault up and grab the top of the wall before gravity pulled you back down. It's an extremely hard thing to do even if you're an experienced climber. My other problem is traction. How many illegals are going to be wearing climbing shoes with soft sticky rubber for traction? If you DON'T have those on (which the girl in the video does!) then when you attempt your dyno then you're going to slip and fall. To be quite blunt...I don't think the average person could get up to the top third of the wall even if they HAD climbing shoes on...I'd be willing to wager that maybe one person in a thousand would be able to perform the dyno needed to scale the top part of the wall.
