Why not initially mount the beam with the boom and elements parallel to the
ground (elements would look vertical if the tower were raised). You should be
able to snug everything up, raise the tower vertical, then use an extension
ladder to reach the top of the tower. Loosen the mast to boom bolts, rotate the
boom so the elements are parallel to the ground once again, tighten everything
up, and you're good to go.
Good luck and stay safe
