US tourists stay in Eiffel Tower overnight while drunk

The one thing I dont understand is: "paid to scale" the tower. Like climbers with ropes (at 10:40pm on Sunday)??? Or does that just mean taking the elevator like I did years ago?

Regardless, tourists are making some bad headlines lately.

Two American tourists have been found sleeping inside the Eiffel Tower after getting stuck while drunk, according to prosecutors.
The two men were found by security guards in the early hours of Monday.
They paid to scale the Parisian landmark at around 22:40 (21:40 BST) on Sunday and hopped security barriers while climbing down, police said.
