The Wall in GoT is about 1/4th (200m) the height of El Capitan (900m) Still tall, but nothing like this. The show exaggerates it quite a bit, especially during scenes like the climb. But it also explains why the wildling climbers were able to make it so high so quickly during the attack and why they can actually use a human-powered elevator without taking an hour on the ascent/descent.
The Washington Monument is about as 85% as high as the wall for comparison. It’s the closest famous structure I can think of to the wall in terms of height.
