Eli5 how are cable car systems installed on mountains?

195 views

Most mountains are very steep and have rocky/forest terrain.

How do the pylons get installed and in particular how on earth were old school systems installed?

Always wondered and can’t seem to find anything on the installation process itself on YT.

Thanks! Looking forward to learning!

In the past, they would string a light cable, to pull a thicker cable, which might then pull an even thicker and final cable.
