Why not build a big, bloody ladder and get out?


They're surrounded by tools and trees and hair styling products and everything else, so why not use those tools to make a ladder and get the freak out of there?

WHY. NOT?

Thomas: “Has anyone tried climbing to the top?”

Newt: “Tried it. The ivy doesn’t go all the way to the top. And besides, where you gonna go from there?”

Easy to get out on top of the maze. I always thought that was dumb.

Build a catapult. Shoot people over the wall. Whoever survives wins!

This is Carcosa. Take off your mask.

It appeared to me too that they didn't try everything since, in the end, the view of the complex from the air indicated that the outer ring and at the tallest structure could have been scaled, walked the roof, and rappelled down the outer ring wall.

Obviously they didn't try everything when they had discovered the "key" and the locked portal which, once opened, led them to a lighted corridor and an "exit" door all of which had never been tried before. Success came when fresh minds were introduced to the maze and defiant attitudes overcame the bio-mechanical beasts heretofore had been considered invincible. Older residents had become complacent and accepted the rhetoric "everything you can think of has already been tried". Nonsense!

Exactly!

Because the sky isnt real. The maze is a giant indoor building, all the weather is fabricated. So they couldn't go anywhere because if they crawled on top of one the walls they would just touch the ceiling and wouldn't be able to go anywhere

That certainly wasn't explained in the movie. The guy clearly said they couldn't get to the top and even if they could where would they go. If there was nowhere to go while climbing on top, why bother trying to get THROUGH the maze? Wouldn't one think that the destination would be the same?
