Oh great the Mexicans have grappling hooks now? Were all fucked.

I like how most of California used to be Mexico.

That's up there with the genocide of the indigenous people of north America.

Crazy what can happen with entitlement.

So check this, Dailybeast calls out Trump for lying (a safe bet) about climbers having tested it because none of the climbing orgs or olympian climber types have heard bout it: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigration/sd-me-prototype-testing-20171207-story.html

But.... some anonymous cats did do it: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigration/sd-me-prototype-testing-20171207-story.html

What’s the aid rating? *shrug*

More curiously, here you have some weird combo of our presdiential douchbag, lazy reporting, and elitist climbing attitude.

We do live in strange times.

From the Union Trib article. “Many of the testers involved are part of Border Patrol’s tactical unit, the agency’s version of a SWAT team”.

I doubt that the Border Patrol SWAT team includes even one world-class climber, let alone 20 of them.

Maybe, instead of wondering whether climbers can climb the wall the Border Patrol should have consulted house painters. A 40 foot extension ladder is about $400 at Home Depot.

More Trump:

"And what the panel does on top, as I said, is structural, but it’s also very hard to get by panel.  Plus, it’s designed to absorb heat, so it’s extremely hot.  The wall is — you won’t be able to touch it.  You can — you can fry an egg on that wall.  It’s very, very hot. So if they’re going to climb it, they’re going to have bring hoses and waters — water.  And we don’t’ know where they’re going to hook it up, because there’s not a lot of water out here.  So it’s a very, very hard thing to climb."

Hot sheet metal is not a particularly effective defense against a ladder. But, setting that aside, is the Moron-in-Chief not aware that the sun doesn't shine at night, which is prime time for border crossing anyway?

Yeah. Maybe a rope. You can just see how his "great mind" works.

We're building a replica of the current slats-and-top-panel version for a Border Wall Climbing competition concurrent with the RRG Rocktoberfest this year. Oct. 10. Come and try it. Prizes awarded for fastest time over and most creative technique.

Will you require climbers to carry simulated (or real) bales of marijuana while climbing?

You’d have to be a moron to with legal prices.

I believe grappling hooks are all manufactured in Mexico.

There is a local dispensary that does $60 ounces of "shake". Take that over "brick" anytime.

I've only been in this town a couple of years and have more given to me than I can use.

Pot coming over the border from Mexico and South America doesn't sell here? I didn't know that!
