No way  will I climb a tower without the guys in place.

Agreed!  No need to climb the tower without the guys attached.   Simply rig 
the pulley at the top of the mast BEFORE loosening the guys.   After the 
antenna is near the top, then reattach the guys, climb and set the  antenna in 
place.  I've put up 4 el 40 meter Yagis this way by myself for  years..
