And if you did what class grade/year would it had happened? What decade (if your comfortable sharing)?
I am wondering how many people actually did this and from what locations/ages/years it would have happened. For my education (American elementary-college years 2000’s-2010’s) I never had to do that. I feel like I had to be common enough that it is referenced in movies and tv shows.
Yeah we had to do it in junior school (so between 9-11) but never did at secondary school. I was in junior school early 2000s in UK.
I could never do it and didn’t really see the point. Plus it always hurt my hands.
Yes, I had to do it, however only in high school, not elementary school, age ca 16. It was in the late 80ies, in Central (Eastern) Europe
Maybe one time? I know there was a rope in a gym at one school I went to. Would’ve been one of the middle schools I attended (which was an old high school). So like 97-00 or so, in the suburban/exurban US Midwest.
But I got the feeling it was just something we did for fun one day. It wasn’t required by any means. And that’s the only time I can think of attempting a rope climb. I never touched a rope in PE/Physical Fitness classes ever again, or even saw one in another school.
Yes, middle school late 90s, northeast us. I made it to the top, but I was in gymnastics for most of Elementary school so I was really strong from that for a good decade after I quit 😆 I was also able to do pull ups in high school too (15ish) which from what I understand is typically difficult for girls. Now I can’t even do a single push up fml 😞 maybe I can change that before I hit 40 lol
Our high school also had a huge rock wall in the gym which was pretty cool, but we only did it for like a week one year
American, East coast, 90’s, I only had to do one rope climb ever in school and it wasn’t a test I don’t think, more like a rain day back up plan. Only a few kids could do it, I think I only got like five feet up lol.
