I have put up 6 towers over the years, solo. Up to 100 ft. My last 2 were
70 ft 45G about 6 years ago.
Used a gin pole. A pulley at the bottom. A pick up to haul the section up
to height. Just a couple inches shy of the right height. Then wen up on
the tower, pull it up the last couple of inches by force and slide it over.
If I were doing it today, I would use an electric winch. Not getting any
younger. But still very much a climber. Its just easier with a winch.
