The invention relates to a hoisting system (100, 100-2, 100-3, 100-4) for hoisting a load (99). The hoisting system (100, 100-2, 100-3, 100-4) comprises: i) a main winch system (110) having a main rope (115) with an end connector (118) mounted to an end (115e) of the main rope (115), ii) an auxiliary winch system (120) having an auxiliary rope (125) having at least one rope connector (123a, 123s) of which at least one is a splitable rope connector (123s), the auxiliary rope (125) comprising a first section (125-1) and a second section (125-2) connected to the first section (125-1) via the splitable rope connector (123s), wherein the splitable rope connector (125s) comprises at least two connector parts (123s1, 123s2) that are releasably connected with each other for allowing quick disconnection and reconnection between the second section (125-2) and the first section (125-1), wherein the connector parts (123s1, 123s2) are configured for releasably connecting with the end connector (118) of the main rope (115), and iii) a hang-off point (200) placed and configured for at least temporarily holding a respective rope connector (123a, 123s) of the auxiliary rope (125) for transferring the load (99) to the hang-off point (200). An embodiment comprises two auxiliary winch systems. The invention further relates to a method for hoisting a load using a hoisting system in accordance with the invention. This method has various embodiments. The invention enables a much larger reach of the hoisting system, by connecting the hoisting ropes in series.
