W8JI has a photo on his web site of 110 feet of 25G being taken down with a
crane. He put the sling at 75 feet and it was ok. He noted that the sling
should be in the middle of a section and wrapped around the entire section.
Looks scary but it worked.

Hello Steve,
Removal of a "120 ft 25g tower down with a crane" would be of significant risk
of structural damage (buckling and/or twisting), end result.
According to Rohn specifications, that tower type is guyed every 28 - 32',
dependent on overall height and wind loading's.
If you want to save the tower sections, the best way of minimal structural
damage is one section at a time.
Thanks n 73,
James
