Russsian tortoise tries climbing through glass

We have a 2 year Russian Tortoise. We do take her outside periodically weather permitting. When she is inside, she is kept in a 3'X 2' glass tank with plants, water, proper temp., etc. Almost every day she spends hours trying to climb up or through the glass. We have taped paper, various colors, on the outside of 3 sides to reduce the depth of vision so it appears more like a wall. She still attempts, hours, to climb through the glass with the paper on it and its always on the same end of the tank. Is there any recommendations to help prevent her from doing this?
