Depends on your situation.. Do you need to move it or will it be permanent?

If you need to move it, I'm thinking a couple of those funky fold-em-all-ways ladders would do the trick..

If its going to be permanent, DEFINITELY get some treated 4x4's ($8 each?) and sink them into the ground to your frost line. Build from that.

Also, there is a world of difference between 6 feet and 10 feet. Falling from 6 usually just ruins your day and makes you feel stupid.. Falling from 10 can break bones or even kill you.

Be careful.. use the right hardware and don't cut corners (get it? Cut corners! ROFLMAO).. I crack myself up.. hehehe..
