The rope is an essential piece of cave spelunking gear, it's seems odd to me that the item doesn't already exist in-game. There are a number of opportunities for the use of an extendable rope; the purpose of which is to let a player make a planned drop to the floor, X squares below.

I like this idea. If you could have the basic rope and then could upgrade it to a grappler. I would love to be able to swing across chasms and down them as well.
I approve. Currently if you want to jump down into a ravine all you need to do is throw a water source and ride the water down, so implementing something like this would enhance flavour without even disturbing game-play in the slightest.
Of course, the idea could also be expanded upon...the rappelling rope or tether could also enable swinging to cross large gaps, and lassoing mobs, perhaps deviating from the fishing rod by allowing players to tie mobs to fencepost or suspend them over a pit...? Left-click to fix one point of the tether, and right-click to fix the other. Hold down one of the mouse buttons and scroll with the scroll wheel to adjust the rope length?
Wrangled creeper piƱatas would make for an interesting trap.
Minepedia suggests that Ziplines were planned to be implemented in Minecraft. I think we could use ziplines and rappelling ropes, what with the new map height. Also we might consider elevator buckets which consist of a boat (the bucket), rope, and a winch block for feasible rapid vertical transport.

Give it durability, and cost iron. Since we have so much.

Enter that and you'll score one hundred thousand rupees for us both, along with a spiffy card!
