I hate bounded accuracy so much. Although the crux of this issue is a DM asking for checks when the aren't really necessary. This is probably fine in combat but isn't really needed outside of that context.
I don't believe so. Climbing a rope in PF2E is typically DC15. As for flying up a rope at 10th level, I think the only characters doing that will be those who have heavily invested in both strength and the athletics skill.
Though if they've done both of those things and are 10th level, they probably should be flying up a rope. In this case that means spending 3 actions (their whole turn) to climb 30 feet of rope, assuming they started their turn in a position to climb the rope and don't need to use actions for anything else like stowing gear to have free hands. Seems pretty fine for incredibly strong and athletic seasoned adventurers.

Is there a reason to think this isn't pf2e with unbounded accuracy? Lvl 10s just flying up the rope
