I learned to do pullups because like hell I'm gonna be the screaming damsel in distress who the hero has to help up when she's dangling over the cliff or building or chopper or whatever.

OP: be sure to work on your sprinting, then. And add some jumping.

That's a great idea. I ALWAYS think that when I watch scenes where somebody falls off a cliff and just barely managed to hold on and goes all "phew, thank god". What do you mean, "thank god"? This is the part where I hang around until I can't hold on anymore!

For that matter (vaguely related) all those people climbing up rope ladders to helicopters. We had such ladders in our gym and had to climb to the top. Well, I can proudly say that at least I managed that, but it's so difficult! And my hands cramped up from holding on so tightly, I barely got down again. In shows, everybody does it no problem, even five people at once! I honestly can't imagine how this would work irl for average people who don't climb rope ladders on a regular basis.

Well, one of the unfairnesses of life is that most men could probably do it without too much effort (stupid upper body strength) provided they kept halfway fit. But if you're a girl and want to be able to climb stuff well, yeah, you're probably gonna have to really earn it.

NAYRT I was excellent at climbing when I was younger (like 12-15) mainly because I weighed next to nothing, so I didn't need a whole lot of strength to be able to easily haul my skinny ass up a rock face. I'd probably have slightly more trouble with it now though.

Keep working at it and you can get better.

This. Movies (and such) where the characters are capable of climbing their way out of trouble never fails to bum me out because I know that if I were in their position I'd likely fall to my death. I can currently do maybe one half-arsed pull-up atm, but I'm going to seriously be making an effort to remedy that.

I don't ever want to be in a situation where I'm hanging onto something and can't lift my way up to safety. Those damsels in the movies/books/etc are lucky-- they usually have a strong guy around to save their assess. I reckon most people who find themselves in such trouble aren't that fortunate.

Plus, being a damsel in distress? SO unappealing. Ugh.

Once you learn to do one pullup, the others come pretty easy. Kipping (using your whole body's momentum to pull yourself up) may be frowned on by old school bodybuilders, but crossfit folk and dangling-off-of-a-ledge folk agree that it's getting up the bar that counts.
