I have always used temporary guy wires whenever I had any doubts, not
only during removal but also during installation of a tower. As long as
the tower is well-guyed it's not going to fall down.
The trick is to guy it just below the section you're working on. As you
add/remove each section, move the guys up or down a section. A little
tedious but worth the trouble.

Caution is a very good thing, but why is it that the worst possible
conditions must be assumed? Perhaps the install was done correctly
and the tower is in great shape? Perhaps additional temporary guys
might be added as insurance as a climber ascends?
