Attack On Titan Manga [Chapter 37] [Chapter 38]

You know that part after the female titan part where suddenly Titans were
spotted, Mike died and the survey corps horse rid along the wall to find a
hole (which wasn‘t there but they couldn‘t have known)? They themselves knew
that it was very dangerous because of course they suspected that there were
lots of titans coming through the hole and if they found the hole they needed
to flee or fight.

But why didn‘t they just run on top of the wall to find the hole? Of course
they can‘t see it but they could see the titans and where they are heading to
(to the hole) and they could see the titans going though the hole without
risking their lives. I know that Ymir and Historia etc. didn‘t have their gear
but Nanaba for example did and she could have helped them get on top of the
wall. They even expected there to be lots of titans and the wall is 50 meters
high they could see very far. I think it‘s an easier and safer solution.

question
attack-on-titan
Why did the Survey Corps search along the wall instead of on top of the wall to find a hole in the wall?


Well, it is true that you could spot a titan from the wall but, don't forget
the time of day it was. Night, it was pitch black at that time. You might be
able to see a 15m titan but a 3-4 meter is questionable. Yes it would have
been safer to use the wall but at the cost of visibility. I don't know exactly
but most of the titans that we have seen arent 15m tall. So they chose to go
on the ground to maximize visibility.
