Great wall of China

The GREAT WALL is
. . . up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) high, 15 to 30 feet (4.6 to 9.1 meters) wide at the base, and from 9 to 12 feet (2.7 to 3.7 meters) wide at the top and 1500 mile long.
HADRIAN'S WALL was 73½ modern miles or 117 kilometres long, its width and height dependent on the construction materials which were available nearby: east of the River Irthing the wall was made from brick shaped stone and measured 9.7 ft or 3 m wide and 16–20 ft or 5 to 6 metres tall.
West of the river the wall was made from turf and measured 6 metres (20 ft) wide and 3.5 metres (11.5 ft) high. This does not include the wall's ditches, berms, and forts. The central section measured 7.8 ft or 2.4 m on a 10 foot base.

First: I'd wonder where the builder got the material to build an infinite wall, and perhaps. I wouldn't see why I wouldn't climb the tree. If the wall were infinite, I'd like to see if I could get a person to meet me at one point, and we would start walking in opposite directions... and see if we ever met up with each other again.
