i hated it in P.E when we had to climb them ropes that hung from the ceiling.
I could never do it. I was rubbish.

Muppet is quite right, it is much better to grip the rope with your legs and then hang with your arms whilst moving your feet up the rope and re-gripping.
But I expect this info is pretty useless to you now though.
Another top tip if you need to climb a vertical rope is to use two prussac knots; these loop around the standing rope and can be slid up and down until you put your weight on them, then they grip the rope. Make one long one for your feet and one short one for your hands and its up, up and away!
Again I imagine this is also pretty useless to you.

I could never do that either, I hated PE and dreaded the rope climb, I was terrified of burning my hands on it if I had managed to climb up the thing and because I am terrified of heights no way was I going to climb up it, I was terrified of the trampoline too.

I could...It was long time ago though (4 years). The girls in my class couldn't so maybe girls are not cut out for climbing ropes in the gym :)

yeh, i could climb the ropes... its actually pretty easy if you know how... just loop the rope around your foot and use the other foot as a break by putting one foot on top of the other and pressing, then pull yourself up with your arms and repeat as necessary. ...
doing with just your arms is pretty hard work and not many people could do it...

I could only get as high as i could jump up and grab on. I never managed to climb an inch.

I could do it, but always managed to burn my hands on the way down - too tired from the trauma of getting up there in the first place.

I was the only one in my class who couldn't, and my P.E teacher made me feel like a failure every time I tried.

Yes easy,
though that was the ONLY thing I was good at in PE, I was Cak at everything else.
