Depends on the soil and the size of the anchor.
I've had 200' of 45G guyed for 30 years with *big* screw-in anchors. The
soil is heavy clay and gravel mix, and when we installed them there was
no doubt that they would not be the weak link in the system. They have
never budged.
I will say though that a new tower installed by unknown persons in
unknown soil would give me pause before I climbed it.

70 - 80 feet of 45G using screw anchors in ANY soil would give me the
