Climbing sides?

Today I discovered that my G Rosea sling can climb up the glass sides of the tank, now I'm worried it'll climb too high then fall, any suggestions?

keep substrate level height about 1.5-2.0X its diagonal leg span so that a fall won't break the tarantula. Rosies often climb when first rehoused and when their substrate is wet.

Exactly as what @Walter1 just said. make sure sub not too wet and at right height and then injury will be unlikely. slings tend to be a bit more resilient to falls than big adults.
