what am I missing


If I had to guess, you are thinking like you will must attach your lifting rope to one end of the mast, and therefore you need a gin pole that is longer than your mast.  But I am only guessing.  If that is what you are thinking, you are missing the fact that you don't have to lift the mast from the end.

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?
