Most of the time I' m using screw-in steps due to the adaptability of my fixed position stands and I wind up between 17 - 20 feet high. With a climber I may be significantly higher if I need to get to canopy cover.

23' seems to be were the canopy of the trees I hunt puts me. I like to be near the branches.
But I don' t like mechanicals at that height. Too much hard bone at the top of the ribcage if it' s a close shot imho.
