Hoisting the 11-foot chromoly mast into position. Using a gin pole, winch, and a 5k Prussik setup, we carefully lifted the mast over the top plate and guided it straight into the thrust bearing. Every inch of movement counts when you’re working with heavy steel at height — smooth coordination between the climber and ground crew makes all the difference. 💪 #VCTowers #hamradio247 #towerclimbing #riggingwork #hamradio #engineering #bluecollarlife #hardwork #buildright #infrastructure | VCTowers

VCTowers on Instagram: "Another view of installing a mast on a rotating tower. We hoisted it using the gin pole and safely lowered it into the thrust bearing.
