[TowerTalk] Hoisting Rope...?

I bought my hoist rope from New River Nets
http://www.newrivernets.com/  

They sell Wellington Rhino-flex rope:

It's been a couple years, but my records show I bought 
a 600-foot spool of 1/2" for around $280.  It is very 
easy to handle: soft, easy to grip, doesn't hold a 
curl.  I was looking for at least 3X (for block-and-
tackle use) max tower height (so around 500') plus 
some.
