Also any recommendations for guy wire or rope to be used would be helpful.

Do NOT use rope. If you don't have access to EHS cable at least use
aircraft cable...3900 lb.
With the tower at that height, if it not next to the house, simply put a
pulley on top of the mast, and hoist it up from the ground up the side of the
tower. I have done this many times. I don't suggest you do this while on top
or anyone else on top of the tower. Once the antenna is in place, tighten
the guys, climb the tower and set the antenna on the mast.
The antenna should be around 5-6 sq ft, well within the load limit of Rohn
25.
Good DX-ing.
