A grappling hook is a tool that consists of multiple hooks attached to a rope.

[expand a little on details?]

During the Third Crusade, the Assassins favored the device's versatility for their operations. Consequently in 1190, Rafik, the Keeper of Dasmascus gave a grappling hook to Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, suggesting that it would be useful should the young Assassin choose to travel by rooftop again. <-- inadequate ending for the sentence?

[it indeed proved useful in the slums because the buildings collapse?]

[when pursuing Fajera and the bridge collapsed Altaïr found it esp. useful for crossing the river ~ significant enough to mention?]

[he would continue to use it throughout his quest for the Chalice to swing himself across gaps he cannot jump]

[employed it as a way of pulling guards towards him. compare with Hookblade & rope dart?]
