Try this.  It's actually rated for 210 pounds. http://www.lowes.com/pd_187202-72068-430-500_0__?productId=3414326 http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/783310/783310125983lg.jpg Josh Luthman wrote: We use that exact same block, I think.  But that doesn't really solve my issue =P Jay - no link/image?

We have cheap-o 200' of white 3/8" from Home Depot or something like that. NOT nylon sheath, that shit sucks. Fits in a regular size climbers canvas bucket. Climber throws it over/down, hook up the block keeping both ends of the load rope on the ground, he pulls it up. You could even get something like a Petzl micro pulley to make it a little easier on the tower guy. If we're working above 200 feet, then they just climb up with one end of the 400' 7/16" to pull up the 800 7/16". A top side pulley that I highly recommend is the Rock Exotica Omni Block series. We have the 2" which isn't exactly rated for capstan hoist use, but we're also not hauling 1k lbs of gear. There's a 2.5 or 2.6" that is capstan rated now though.

I'm wondering if there's some sort of really light rope that would enable us to bring the whole thing up, drop it, and then pull up a real load rope. My main concern would be weight and size of 200+ feet of even tiny rope. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?
