Grappling Hook Launcher

A compact, spring-loaded launcher that fires a weighted hook trailing a high-tensile cable, letting the user anchor to a ledge, beam, or rooftop and ascend, descend, or swing across a gap in seconds rather than finding a conventional route.

Its cable length and the motor's pulling power both limit how much weight it can safely lift, so it favours a single agile user over carrying heavy equipment along with them.
