[TowerTalk] rigging for lifting a heavy mast?

[David Robbins]

proper knots like pipe hitches won't slip off.  or you could put a clamp on the pipe where you want it to stop going into the tower and use that as an anchor for the rope or sling.  that has the advantage of not letting the mast go too far into the tower.

I'm going to be installing a 20' heavy steel mast in my tower (a Trylon 72' self-supporting tower). I will be renting a crane to lift the mast and drop it from above. What kind of rigging do I use on the mast so it can be lifted up vertically, without the sling slipping up off the top of the mast?

Thanks and 73,
