As I have gotten older I found it very hard to hang with a lines man harness and pull up a stand! I am fortunate that I have large pine trees like telephone poles that I hang my stands on. I have found that If I use my climber I can hang the stand around 18 feet and then climb down and mount the 20 foot ladder to the tree!! This is only possible because the trees are so straight but it works great!!

As everyone has said a linemans belt is a must, when you get up in the tree instead of using just one hand you can use both and it make you fell more surcure to the tree.
