Grappling hook?

[Stiivais]

before you troll: this post was made on a effing phone, so dont expect any fancy formatting or even spelling.

So, the idea is simple: implement grappling hook - a device which allows quicker travel. How many times have you got stuck in crossfire, because to get to any cover you just have to stop shooting deuces and build a stair or something? And those times when you are unable to reach the pathway because you are in water, unable to place blocks on which to jump?
What if these problems were solved, what if you were able to grapple to the block above which you want to end up and get dragged into that position?
Amd no, i am not recommending a mechanic which will turn this game into spiderman, bionic commando or even boost the speed to the levels of tribes. All i want is to make movement easier, maybe a slow graplling hook with a range of 5 or 6 blocks.
But i am already bracing myself, as i hear the footsteps of those who wanted to decrease speed of autoclimb. Dont rage at me, just give your opinion.
Would this make the gameworld easier to traverse (apart from the balance issues)?

This will make AoS not Aos.
Because of the main reason that we can just sprint our way.
But we need to have this as a server option.

At ~6 blocks that means you only have to place 3 blocks to make an effective stair case, which at the "slow" speed you suggested, it may be faster to simply build that and jump up.
