Phoebe: We have P.E. at school today. I'm nervous. It's unpredictable. Sometimes it's fun, like jumping rope. Other times its awful, like climbing a rope. Marigold: You have a complicated relationship with rope. Phoebe: This is what P.E. has done to me.

We only did rope climb one time in junior high. I wanted to do it all the time. I was skinny and nimble and had no problem making it to the top.

I was the worst in my class at the rope climb. Jumping rope was purely playground, not gym.

I never saw girls forced to climb a rope at any time in my school days. The lack of arm strength makes it a waste of time. Dodge-ball is what most girls would dread in 4th grade.
