Would take a heavy snatch block to hold full pull on a 1/2 inch cable.
I was thinking the same thing after I posted my reply earlier. Depending on the kind of cable type a 1/2" aircraft grade cable is going to be rated somewhere in the 20 to 30,000 lb area. That would mean he needs a 20 to 30 ton snatch block to get full pull on the cable. Once he finds out a block of this size sells for $1000++++ he may change his mind.
Even if he gets past this point and has something big enough to exert that kind of pull; looping a cable and using cable clamps for the ends will be the weak point so he will have to upgrade to wedge sockets. This will add more to the cost.
He is most likely better off staying with a straight pull since he has 1/2" cable. Remember������ 20 ton cable with 2 ton clamps is only good for 2 tons of pull. Everything has to be rated the same or at least above the maximum pull.
