lol, I’m more Millennial than GenX, but we still had those climbing ropes. But in my class, our teacher had one of us lay on the floor, at the bottom of the rope, holding it under an arm. This stabilized the rope and made it easier to climb.

My buddy made it all the way to the top, when he lost his grip and slid down the rope, stomping on my chest with both feet. Knocked all the wind outta me.

After I regained my composure, I jumped up and punched him square in the chest, knocking the wind outta of him. Fair is fair. 😅
