I have ends supported with nylon cord over pulleys to lower for cutting.
Yes, and it's a MUST for any wire where one or both ends are rigged to a
tree with one end tied to a weight to allow for tree sway in the wind.
K2RD showed me how to do that without hiring a climber. I use big water
jugs filled with dry sand for the 90-100# needed for dipoles at 100-130
ft in my redwoods; others use suitably sized concrete blocks or hooks
set in concrete poured into a bucket; window sash weights work for lower
antennas that don't need as much tension to support the feedline.
