Same reason adults climb mountains

Kids have to climb, they are small and always want to reach things in the kitchen for example- thus they build ladders he he. Climbing gates and fences is normal exploration in childhood.

I guess it represents freedom and they want to explore further. However, my youngest son just loved climbing ANYTHING. When he was four he pushed a chair over to the counter, climbed up and from there got on top of the refrigerator. As I walked by he leaned down and yelled "BOO"! Nearly gave me a heart attack. *L* Maybe it's the same reason adults climb mountains... just because they're there. *smile* Good luck with your climbers!

It's a combination of the adventure and the fact that they have not been hurt enough to realize that it could be dangerous to them.

Exploration, adventure, testing their boundaries, trying to discover what they can achieve and because children are relatively fearless.
