How do they tie the cables together?
To get 9KM of cable they must use multiple spools and somehow tie them together. I'm curious how they're joined so they do not become the "weakest link in the chain" and are not too bulky for the wheels.

- lflux 10y agoIt's spliced like any other rope, you can see this in action here: https://youtu.be/5itSfxJoXY4?t=183 https://youtu.be/5itSfxJoXY4?t=183 The splice for the Vail lift is about 300 feet long apparently.
