Yeah, we had to do that in Jr. High also. I set the school record for the rope climb. I don't remember if there was a mat under the rope or not. I also set a school record for something termed the "agility run." it consisted of starting with three forward rolls, a skin the cat, traversing the parallel bars, vaulting the horse going under it & over again, then climbing the 20 ft. rope. I completed the course in 17.7 seconds. Yes, those days are long gone.
