And the silly Mongols couldn’t climb over this? Seems like a few grappling hooks, maybe a ramp on wheels, and you are in like Flynn. Jeesh!

If they could climb those hills then they could climb the wall. But the wall has many watchtowers to spot invading troops and it would be a lot easier for defending troops to run along the wall than for invading troops to run up the hills.
