Subject: Climbing out of a black hole

Theory states that nothing can escape from within a black hole event 
horizon since its escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. 
Similarly, to escape the Earth a speed of around 7miles/sec is necessary. 
But if you travelled upward from the Earth (say on a rope) at say 100mph, 
for long enough, you would reach a point where the escape velocity was 
100mph, and be free!
So: why can't you escape from a black hole by climbing a rope to a 
orbiting spaceship just outside the event horizon, without ever needing to 
reach escape velocity.
