Great article. I didn't get the point of the long central poles - seems that would assist water trickling in, and increase probability of lightning strike; they looked deliberately high.

As to the height of it, having something to keep your balance on top of the stack is essential. One of the photos shows the person standing on the stack and their head is at about the same height as the pole.
