Then you will need 6 good ropes long enough to go from one section below the
top to your anchors. Before you raise each of the unguyed sections tie the
3 ropes on to it, raise it, tie them off, then move the gin pole up. After
the 3rd section with the real guys remove the 6 ropes from below you and
repeat.
