[Towertalk] rigging rope

[dick.green@valley.net (Dick Green)]

Hi there, TTians:

What are people using these days for rigging rope (e.g., hauling tools and
equipment up the tower, pulley work, tramming antennas, etc.)? I've noticed
that one of our professional riggers in New England uses what appears to be
high-quality rock-climbing rope. Anybody else using that stuff? If so,
where'd you get it? Bet it's really expensive if you buy it at a retail
climbing gear store. Anybody using plain-old nylon rope, hemp rope, or
plastic yachting rope?
