Rock Climbers To Test Trump’s Boast That His Border Barrier Can’t Be Scaled
Climber Rick Weber has built a replica wall for competition in Kentucky this month.

The president “boasted that ‘the federal government tested the structure by having 20 skilled mountain climbers attempt to climb it, and no one could,’” Weber wrote.
But he added, “No one in our climbing community knows any of these 20 mountaineers. I doubt if they exist.”

Maya Madere, a sophomore at Stanford University who is the nation’s fifth-ranked woman boulderer (that’s someone who climbs smaller rock formations without ropes),
called Trump’s claim that the barrier was tested by top climbers “preposterous.”
Trump is “full of shit as usual,” she told The Daily Beast last month.

“Definitely no well-recognized U.S. climbers have taken part in something like that,” climber Ross Fulkerson, a seven-time member of the U.S. national team, told The Daily Beast.

But now Weber is arranging for climbers to test a replica of the barrier in a climbing competition on *Oct. 11 and 12* in the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky.
Entry is free and there will be prizes, he wrote. The dates overlap with an annual climbing event in the area known as Rocktoberfest.

“To declare something to be impossible to climb to a bonafide rock climber is to issue a challenge,” Weber wrote.

((that will be an interesting/fun watch--))

Not the new border wall version, but this was back in 2011.
