Hooks

This page will consider devices that I refer to as "hooks". These devices exist in a wide variety of configurations, and I'm not sure how to rigorously define them. Worse yet, I find it even harder to distinguish between hooks and horns. The best I can do is to assign those descenders which are not racks, carabiners, eights, plates (another catch-all), bobbins, brake bars, etc. to either hooks or horns. Hooks include any remaining device with "hook" in its name, horns include those with "horn" in its name, and the remainder fit in somehow.
