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.

  • Yes, we did this in late elementary school (I want to say 5th grade, or 10-11ish years old?), but did not do it beyond that. There were two ropes–one standard rope and one with evenly spaced knots that you could use to climb with hand and footholds. This was in the '90s.
