Jon,

25G is pretty tough stuff: The 12 Element teledyne is 11.7 square feet, and
a 60 foot Rohn 25 will handle 20.3 square feet.  THAT's not the problem!

In the description for one of the earlier pictures, it states no expense was
spared for the tower construction.  I would beg to differ.  Those rings are
scary.  Not to mention that 12 element LP is probably way over the rated
windload for the r25g at 60'.  (No, I didn't look up the specs, but I might
have to out of curiosity now.)
