Did you have to climb a rope in Physical Education or any other educational class? (beehaw.org)

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.

Western US here. We had a rope climb twice a year from 4th to 9th grade. I tried the first time and then refused every time after that.

Never did get any flak for it. Can only assume they knew it was dangerous and were happy to have kids skip it.
