Re: Using a grappling hook to climb the tower

Remember that you can't extend higher than 7 1/2 ft, so if you shoot a grappling hook, it would probably go over that and you would get a penalty. Also, shooting a grappling hook would probably be considered unsafe and not allowed at competition. Instead of shooting the grappling hook, could you try making a small arm that safely extends upwards to get the hook hooked onto the beam?
