I have used screw in steps and ladders are much better. the problem with ladders are the height and cost. I solved both problems by making my own.

I just buy 1" square tubing. I use a chop saw to cut the material and a stick welder to weld the tubing together. I make the sections in 6 foot joints. I can make four from two 20 foot joints of square tubing. Total cost is about 20 bucks. This will get me up 24 foot. Much easier than screwing a step into a hardwood.

Remember steps are not good for the timber. I hunt on my own land and every tree that dies is money out of my pocket.
