I found some pics at a site that shows a couple applications using an extension ladder. Not the same pictures that I had seen, but you get the idea. I do remember the ladder sides were guyed with rope to keep it from twisting in the wind. The guy I'm thinking of made a hex beam using pvc pipe for spreaders.
Click on the 32 foot ladder/tower pics for ideas.

Thanks to all who have been responding. There are a lot of innovative ideas out there. I had not seen this one. Oh, to have that kind of a tower.
To have a free standing device requires a pole, or tower, likeness. Otherwise, the sky is the limit with devices (pardon the pun). I will try to find that extension ladder site. It had merit.
