Ninja Climbing Gear

In the arts of Ninjutsu the Ninja often found it necessary to scale stone walls or climb trees in order to obtain his target.  To facilitate these tasks he would employ certain climbing aids such as the Cat's claw and Foot Spikes in order to gain a grip on the surfaces he was required to scale.  For the further reaches and where expediency rather than stealth was necessary a simple grappling hook was used.
