I have worked on Rohn 25 towers with ground mounted rotors. 2" aluminum conduit 
was used as a mast, threaded couplers were through bolted, and HDPE , UHMW, or 
Delrin was used as sleeve bearings every 10' mounted on an accesory shelf. I 
personally don't think it is worth the extra effort and the tower is a bear to 
climb because you are climbing with your toes, not the instep of your foot. I'd 
rather climb a BX tower... maybe.
