14% GrappleChargeless is one of the thirteen in-bounds low% categories that are currently humanly possible. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the Grapple Beam and Speed Booster for level progression.

Although the WR run utilizes L+R climbing, it is theoretically possible to complete the run without it since Grapple Beam removes the need to breach the water pre-colosseum. However, completing the run without it would be extremely difficult since it would require both left and right side underwater walljumps without Hi-Jump Boots.

EternisedDragon found a way to ascend Fish Tank RTA by getting doorstuck and spinjumping to the wall on the right. The jump height increase in PAL allows Samus to "catch" the wall on the right and walljump up the room. This was thought to be TAS only for a long time and this opens up 14% Grapple-Chargeless, Pb-Pb, and Grapple-Speed as theoretically humanly doable categories.
