Or you feed the mast in from the bottom from inside the tower. Rope down the pipe tied off to a bar or whatever to raise the mast with a winch, pulley, etc.

I've a 22ft chromoly mast and am wondering if I will get this installed at
the moment (without a crane).

Right now, I have 40ft of R55, and I thought I would raise the mast and
drop it into the yet to be completed tower (easier to do in my mind) vs
trying to stab it into the bearing when the tower is completed.

How have others dealt with a 22ft mast, when you have a 12ft gin
pole.......what am I missing to get this done?
