Using a grappling hook to climb the tower

Yeah... I was just wondering if anyone else was thinking of using a grappling hook to climb the towers on the field. Is this allowed by the rules? It would be lightweight in terms of what it takes to climb the tower and would only require one motor to drive the winch. the only snag we have run into is aiming the hook shooting mechanism so that it will wrap around the bar on the top of the tower.
Thanks.
