    Do they still do this? Or are they afraid the students who can’t do it will feel bad about themselves?

    I climbed those ropes at James M Bennett many times. There were no excuses not to back then.

    Yup. I remember climbing the rope as a part of the President’s Physical Fitness Program.

    There was this fat kid in my eight grade gym class and every time he would pull up with his arm he passed gas. The higher he went the louder it was. Poor guy passed away a few years ago but I still get a chuckle thinking about it.

    You'd have to put their phone at the top to get any kid these days to exert or challenge themselves that way.

    Yup, I climbed all the way to the top and got a sliver in my finger that turned in to a major infection that needed surgery.

    Dirty filthy rope!

    Northwest Woodsman: Snow Hill High School circa 1950s, must have been at least thirty feet to the top of the rope. Because I weighed only 125 pounds they and had good upper body strength, I easily climbed and touched the ceiling. Don’t recall any safety concerns back then and no one was ever injured.

    Your kids can still do this in any gymnastics class (without a safety harness either).
