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.

I did in US middle school (8th grade, 2008 or 2009) but it was a knotted rope, so the knots acted as footholds, making it much easier. Also there was a marker 10' or so up and we weren't supposed to pass it to avoid fall injuries. Very nerfed from the archetypical gym class rope climb. As a severely out of shape nerd I still struggled with it :']
