- It must be attached to a rope and is a kind of survival gear.
Description (Specifications)
A grapnel, or a grappling hook, consists of three or more flukes attached to the end of a rope. Many examples have folding flukes for ease of transport.
- A grapnel is generally used for attempting climbs up sheer pitches.
- A grapnel may be secured in place to allow a descent.
Grapnels may be thrown into wreckage or debris in order to spread it out or drag items clear.
History & Background (Dossier)
Maximum range to throw a grapnel is about 30 meters.
- Seven separate climbs would complete a 200 meter pitch (planting the grapnel on a ledge or projection, climbing to it, then repeating).
Grapnel climbing bypasses the procedure of sending up a lead climber; each climb is equivalent to a regular climb up emplaced ropes.
