I’ve always ruled that it can “fly”. In older editions it had language specifically saying it could move upward. In 5e, it’s not as clear, but it’s never walking nor flying nor swimming. It doesn’t have a speed, it just moves toward the destination, even if the destination is 10 feet straight above you.

Do grappling hooks really work?
Real climbers never use them, and for good reason. You have no idea what they hook onto, so you are trusting your life with something completely unknown. Those things are just for the movies. But they can be a good tool for pulling things, grabbing branches, shifting logs etc.

Can a rope be used to fasten itself to anything?
The above passage does not grant the rope the supernatural ability to fasten to anything. Instead, it simply allows the rope to fasten itself to objects. Being that it does not get any more specific than that, it is fairly clear that this would mean any object a rope could be fastened to normally.

While not technically ideal for ice climbing or mountaineering (Half-Ropes are better designed for this) you will still see most people using Single Rope setups in these conditions. It is completely normal for climbers to use a Single Rope or Half Ropes for a mountain or ice route.
