I installed my 80' ROHN 45 solo -- used a ROHN gin pole and ran the
pulling end of the rope down the tower and around a stout pulley and
back up to where I was.  Used a come-along at my elevation to give me
fine control and ability to rest.  Your're right; there are a number of
people who love to climb towers.  I'm one.
