With a 25G, or clone, I used a Nylon rope rated at far more strength
than needed.It's quite springy. I'd raise the section via gin pole until
the base of the section being lifted was between the two bolt holes. it
took a little pressure from one hand on the tower section to raise the
base above the top of the section it would set on. It's own weight
would set it down. With a little down pressure I could line up yhe
holes. Typically I'd use a taper pin punch on one leg, while positioning
and inserting the bolts in the other legs.
I say it was solo, but I had someone available to call for help if needed.
Always have a safety person, be it your wife, a neighbor kid, or whoever.

I seem to recall a thread a long time ago about how Bill, KM9P, put up his
towers without any assistance. But, except for posting where he
stated he did so, I cannot find any details about how he did it.
In particular, once the tower section is hauled up with the gin pole
how is the tower section moved up and down as needed to seat it
on the existing tower?
