Everyone says their characters carry at least 50 feet of rope.
What are you using to attach that rope to things?
>>46153194
I always carry pitons, a tarp, and occasionally a rescue 8.
Just grab the rope and punch it into the wall really hard.
Gets it stuck in there pretty consistently.
Not that it's a big hazard if the rope falls out.You're playing a monk, right?

I do carry pitons. I'm not stupid.
And if I think I'm going to do a lot of climbing I'll carry crampons too.
Depending on the setting I'll have microwire, grapnel, auto rappel, and the always handy gecko gloves and jikka tabi.

when half the party can't move around a pit trap (literally just a covered hole in the ground) having a player as an anchor as you drag yourself out is very useful.

My dick
I always carry a tarp above my pack, a fishing webbing hung around my pack, along with a winter blanket (a bed roll isn't enough to stay a cold night).
My equipment always taken into a dungeon is rope, a clutch of pitons, a small pouch filled with flour, a 10-foot pole made of 4 detachable pieces, a dagger, pick axe, a spool of string, a small bell, extra lamp oil, and a torch. there's more, but that's the most important stuff.

who needs those when you have a grappling hook?
>>46154339
grappling hooks and pitons serve two different purposes, and frankly a piton will be far more useful if you have even a basic level climbing ability.
You'd use a grappling hook to climb short distances you could safely ascend without gear. Pitons are for when you need to climb a large distance, say past the 50 foot rope limit, where you will inevitably need a piton to tie yourself off to rest, and to tie another rope and continue climbing.
