Border Wall Climbing Competition

Damn, I did not realize it was that impossible!
Another climber, 29-year-old Erik Kloeker, made it over the wall in approximately 30 seconds during a demonstration for reporters. He later climbed the wall a second time while also juggling

Erik's best free climb time was 17.29 seconds. A bit longer to free solo.

angle grinders are aid?

Huge gaps. Just walk the wall and pick your vertical edge to sidepull.

Interesting, that is a) different from the photo I posted and b) a really awful design for a wall. Chuckles. 

Super Fun yesterday at the Border Wall Climbing Comp. Lots of participants and spectators. News crews everywhere. The 8-person crew from TBS Full Frontal was there all day shooting. (Stay tuned - it should air in the next few days.) Best three free climbing times were under 15 seconds! Excellent weather, no injuries, great entertainment by Red River Gorge's best. Couldn't have been better. Oh and uh... one more Trump lie dispelled. His precious iron monstrosity CAN be climbed even in the most difficult manner - free climbing. Videos to follow.

Can't wait to see the videos!

I hope they get tweeted to Trump!

How is filming with a satirical “news” group, is it obvious when they are making a joke? Was it hard to not to fall for their jokes?

Yep... that was hilarious
