Is my man card permanently lost if I hammer in pole steps instead? Or
can I redeem myself somehow?

You can also talk to electrical contractors. I used to get 50ft poles
(42ft AGL) set for about $1500. He handled all the logistics of
stocking and transporting poles. We'd screw the SM on ahead of time
with elevation pre-set. For aligning azimuth the contractor would
rotate the pole in the hole for us before back-filling. If it's
something you're doing just every now and again it might make more
sense that way.
If you don't have your own bucket then you'll want to pre-drill for
steps and hammer those in. They're less than $2 each at
linemen-tools.com.

I assume you get these poles from the utility company? Can you share
how much?

60 foot utility poles go 8 feet in the ground in our area
resulting in a 52 foot above ground option and you can extend
that with the pipe to pipe clamp and some rigid conduit. They are
not cheap to get in the ground but I do have the equipment to do
it. The nice thing about them is you can put them in the right of
way with the proper permits. I would not recommend using them for
licensed back holes because they do move substantially at the top
in the wind and makes it very difficult to align them but for 5
GHz they work fine

break over poles that can reach 20-25 ft. I'm looking for 40-50
ft options. Looking to mount Force 300-25 or 450b HG SM's.
