Carefully I'd imagine ;-) But a 6' HP antenna with brackets weighs somewhere around 200lbs or so and is 6' so the same methods apply. Rooftop via stairs wouldn't be fun but plenty manageable. Up the skinny ladder would suck more, would take some creativity, but those ladders suck no matter what. Probably wouldn't fit through the hole anyways and would need to come over the side or via crane like anything 3'+. Although if you can afford to back to back hop all these spendy links then lift/crane access is probably built into the budget.
