How do they hoist cable car cables from mountain peak to another?

I just went to a mountain trip and rode a cable car and was amazed how did they install or connect the cable from one tower to another? Im pretty sure they did not use foot power..did they use a helicopter? Amazing what people and technology can do!

Answer:

A small diameter wire is taken by truck, car, horse or push cycle Etc from one side to the other. Then subsequent heavier cables are pulled across and tensioned.
