Line 26:
* Several of the mercenaries in ''[[Desert Punk (manga)|Desert Punk]]'' have sort of pulley/grappling hook back packs that allow them to do this.
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Kotetsu/Wild Tiger has a [[Grappling Hook Pistol]] in his [[Powered Armor]] (as well as in his civilian wear's wrist watch) that he sometimes uses in this fashion.
* In ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'', Kodachi [[Instant Knots|snags]] female Ranma by the neck with her gymnastics ribbon and pulls her up to the top of the gymnasium (a height of at least three stories) so that she'd fall into the wreck of the combat arena. Ranma quickly tosses the end of the ribbon towards the lighting at the top of the building and manages to swing to safety, without injury.

Line 45:
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshade hung]] by an issue of the ''Bartman'' comic: "Almost there! And good - I'm out of tall things to swing from!"
** In the same series, a "letter to the editor" asks how Bartman can swing when there's nothing in the background to hang a rope from. The answer? Springfield's notorious air pollution has apparently given clouds the consistency of ballistics gel.
* Lampshaded in an issue of ''[[Catwoman (Comic Bookcomics)|Catwoman]]'' where she has an adventure in Miami and notes that she will soon run out of rooftops if she doesn't change up her strategy that works so well in Gotham and NYC.
* In ''[[Bookhunter]]'', [[Cowboy Cop]] Agent Bay shoots down a power line and uses it to swing between two rooftops.
