Rope (For Decoration & Climbing)

My Idea:

Take the current "Lead", and change its ID to "Rope". It would still function as a Lead, but also be able to be connected between fences, trip-wire hooks, etc. Something I would like to use for decoration. Just imagine a Rope Bridge over a wide Mesa Canyon... Craft a "Rope" with a "Bottle of Honey" and you get a "Climbing Rope*". Which can be connected between the same set of blocks as an un-honeyed "Rope"

Another item that could be added to function with the lead would be a "Weight". Crafted by a "Chain" above a "Smooth Stone Block" or similar heavy block. Then this could be held in the off hand with a "Climbing Rope*", then you right click a connection point, then you "throw" in a direction. Or it could be crafted into a "Weighted Climbing Rope". It travels up to 2 blocks horizontally before it falls to the ground. Checking vertically for the first block of free air, then falling until it runs out of velocity and touches a block. This way we have a tool that allows us to go down a sheer surface, partnering with a ladder which allows us to go up. It could be argued that a "Bucket of Water" already achieves this, but the benefit of the "Rope" and its sub-sets is that it doesn't destroy flora, make obsidian, etc.
