JC -
I've put up a couple of the Trylon towers this way. They're very comfortable
to climb at the lower levels, but get a bit uncomfortable toward the top as the
angle of the braces gets more severe. I found it easiest to climb up one
corner, stepping on the braces angling up and away from me.
I disassembled the larger sections in 3rds, leaving the braces attached to a
corner piece. This was a manageable size and weight to work with and didn't
require a gin pole; I just pulled them up with a rope. I was able to work from
inside the tower while assembing the larger sections. I did use a gin pole
toward the top, where the sections are lighter.
Good luck and enjoy your new tower.
