Congratulations on your new puppy! You have a special one with her climbing abilities. Since this is not safe, especially when you cannot be there to supervise, I would either put a top on the xpen, or buy a crate large enough to accommodate a piddle pad on one end and bed on the other. The latter might confuse her if you switch to crate training later and she doesn't have the pad -- if your goal is strict outdoor training.
