Get climbing steps and a full body harness with a line man's belt. I bought some 20' el cheapo climbing sticks for $30 two years ago. If I want my stand higher, like the fixed pos. one in my backyard Ijust add screw in steps above the climbing sticks. And trust me, the f.b. harness w/ lineman's belt is great! If you don't have one I would highly recommend it for safety and convenience.
