Its on a tower. This guy:
The first section of cross hatching is bare, the second covered on all sides with two inch spikes, and then the third section contains a box with a safety ladder to a great view.

|  | | | Ooo.. Pretty. Looks fun.
It doesn't look like razor-ish so I think thick leather gloves and proper hand placing should do the trick.
Or ask someone who might be found climbing those things as a career and ask them how they do it.
Or get a grappling hook and get it caught on the ladder and voila!

| | | | I'm wondering if those rubber slip mats that they keep on the floor in kitchens might do the trick. I dunno. They're heavy, and once unrolled they'd be obvious. At this point, its the best thing I can imagine, short of bringing a ladder out there (which is how workers get past the spikes).
But with it being 10F and windy at this spot, I guess I just might wait a few more months and try to figure something else out.

Some areas in Mexico and Canada DO NOT have signs warning of anti climb technology. Some places I have seen use glass in the top of a concrete wall. Seems to me the place becomes a prison if the lock on the gate fails...

| | | | I've only found anti climb spikes in two places in Providence and neither one of them had anything more than a "No Trespassing" sign.

| | | | Australia doesn't seem to require warnings for anti-climb spikes.
Around Sydney everything has some kind of anti-climb crap. Even Primary School Fences are pointy at the top!
So, don't rely on someone exercising their 'duty of care' to let you know about digit-removing devices. Just look before you climb.

Yeah kitchen mats would work great. They're very thick. Although they're a tad expensive so you wouldn't want to leave them behind.

| | | | I've climbed over barbed wire with a mat draped over it and that worked well, but I dont know how they'd stand up to much of the stuff posted in here.
First step in getting by the spinning ones would be to jam something in them to keep them from turning. After that it might not be too hard to negotiate depending on what size and angles the spikes are at...

| | | | They have these things along the ledges of the schools in the area because too many kids (read: us) were climbing on top of them. Really fucking nasty too. Just like Plytheman, we used a door mat to throw over the spikes. The thick fabric mats work better than the rubber mats from what I recall. They're also pretty cheap.

| | | | I've seen some crueller iterations of this stuff in Toronto, most noticeably around the TTC stations for some reason. They're basically the anti-roost spikes mentioned earlier, but they protrude diagonally out from the ledge, not vertically from on top. Which is to say they give you no chance to grip at all, because the corner of the wall is lined with nasties. I think a (makeshift?) ladder would do best here, because they really don't give you much room to breath. The good news though is that these nasties are engineered to keep birds off and not people out in most cases (although they do a mighty fine job of keeping people out, theoretically), so they aren't specifically designed with deterring explorers in mind. A little creativity, a DIY ladder and some thick or durable material and it should be possible to get over.
