How about a temporary crossbar at the top of the tower, two pulleys, a 
long rope, and a counterweight? (This is NOT a fall arrest system!) Sort 
of like an elevator. The counterweight would be a bit less than the 
weight of the climber and gear. It would go on the opposite side of the 
tower.

You still need fall protection, but it could reduce the energy expended 
climbing, and should be safe. A lot safer than a winch. This is clearly 
something you would only put up for major projects, and take down when 
you're done.
