I wonder what an "anti-climbing" section might look like?

Perhaps a large smooth section covered in huge painted murals, in the best Mexican tradition.

But what kinds of murals should we paint to discourage climbing? A few ideas ---

• Lots of images of a beaming DJT waving Hasta La Vista to them.
• MS-13 gang member swinging from a gallows.
• Large aircraft disgorging illegal immigrants at Tierra del Fuego Airport.
• Images that are extremely nausea-inducing, causing them to lose their lunch and slip off. Like that 1960s Frito Bandito guy & other cultural appropriations.

Teflon.

Greasers slide right off! (Not to be confused by my family who emigrated from Italy around 1900, who were known for decades as Grease-balls)

So far, they are using a 4 to 6 foot flat plate at the top, which affords no handhold. This year's appropriation limits construction to previously used designs. Next year they might start putting the barrel tops on them, which are even harder to climb, and also defeat grappling hooks.

What is going in now are 18 to 30 foot steel bollards, with the flat plate at the top. 18 foot deters all but teams of fit young men, 30 foot deters all but virtual commandos or circus acrobats.

These new bollard barriers are much heavier material - they will persist for decades without maintenance.

Here is a picture of the current 18 foot design:
