Impressive images from their photo gallery – when you enlarge be sure to notice the "ladder" between the assemblies!

Couldn't get the link to work.

The photo looks like Yan's "anti-gravity" device - first used at Mammoth to restrain a snow cat on steep terrain. It was adopted later by cat manufacturers who called it a "winch cat." Shameless theft of wisdom - great outcome.

That is in Chamonix, France. Here is a photo in which a portion of the system map is seen, illustrating the suspended sheaves:

I would hate to have to be the lift maintenance crew who has to do line work on that!
