Grappling Hook Denfence

What would you guys say is the best way to defend against someone using a grappling hook to scale a wall? My town uses a wall (town ceilings are for pussies), and we have noticed it is not too hard for a player to use grappling hook to get over. I am wondering if you know of any clever ways to make it more difficult for them to do this.

Also, what is the max. height a grappling hook can travel vertically (for Ninja and Ranger)?

easiest way is extend the wall out horizontally from top so they bonk their head and fall back down lol. For height, I dunno exactly but pretty sure its at least 40 blocks or so, I believe we are not supposed to build walls higher than 30 blocks so yeah, cant stop them from height alone.

Player detector and pistons. Make the wall go flush when they get close and they will fall to the ground (not tested :p)

I don't think town ceilings are legal, undercities are, but not a roofed town. Also please use less caps. Lastly I believe a moat would offer a good defense vs grappling hooks as well.
