Here's a 7 footer climbing a chainlink fence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DMjQJD7vM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DMjQJD7vM
A 5 or so footer doing the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbq3ymZkfVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbq3ymZkfVc
And another massive gator that just bends a metal fence like it's Play-doh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k67hsRXcLjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k67hsRXcLjA
That being said, a fit human being is definitely going to be a much better climber than a gator. And it's extremely rare they ever go after full size adults (kids are more at risk).

- nkozyra 3y agoI've seen some fail pretty hard on the fences, but I also think they're good climbing options for gators. I was walking one night and saw ~8-9ft one about 20 ft up the road so I obviously stopped walking that way. It was going for a 3-4 ft concrete wall and just kept flopping and falling over repeatedly. I hung out for a while to see if it ever beat the tiny little wall, but nope. Just kept hitting the concrete.
