Get/go/climb beyond its huge, soaring stone walls

No one had ever been able to get beyond its (Troy's) huge, soaring stone walls.
... go/climb beyond its huge and extremely high/tall stone walls.

Hi,
Does the second sound as good as the first and mean about the same? Thanks.

No, the second does not sound good. 'Get' does not carry the restricted meanings of mode of access that your other words do.

Thanks, Mister.

What about the "soaring" part? Is it the same as "extremely high/tall?" Thanks again.
