Sure did, I think it was part of a bunch of tests we had to do for the... Presidential Fitness Award or something?
It was done in Elementary school, so Fall 87->Spring 93? I have no idea if they're still doing any of that crap now though.
I do remember it being the neatest dang thing because our school had like this entire wall of collapsible gym equipment that folded out like a playground with like 2 or 3 story monkeybars and gigantic poofy mats at the bottom, and you better believe some kids fell off.
The more I think about it, the more I suspect they don't let them do that anymore
ELEMENTARY! I feel like that is wild.
Haha yeah it sounds like a crazy fun playground filled with danger.
Climbing is way, way easier for younger children.
honestly I think the last time I could have pulled it off was elementary. I went from a skinny stick to mr. chubs in a flash in 6th grade. though maybe it was because I didn't have any ropes to climb anymore?
I'm probably five years younger than you. We had rope climbing but it wasn't part of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award (which I am seemingly deeply proud of actually having managed in the third grade, despite being crap at pull ups, and I was even worse at rope climbing).
