Make an aider for each stick and you can get an extra 7ft easy

I was 5'-8". But I got old.
And I use what ever it takes to get to the height I want, for a given situation.
I gotta agree with troy w7 for the most part. Background cover will make a huge difference. I've killed a plenty off an old Strong-Built 10' ladder stand. Gave it away about a year ago. Had it since the mid '90s. I've got one with a little wider seat on it now. And have a choice of 4', 8', 12', or 16'. Been kill-n deer at 8' with it.
A man just can't have enough equipment for different situations when hunting public lands.
Adapt, and over come!

I’m 5’9” and with 4 lone wolf sticks I can EASILY got to 20’. If I get pretty athletic and got a limb here and there 25’+ is doable... if the need calls for it. No aiders, naders, potaters or alligators
Get all your tough stuff done down low. My first step is about chin high. Set stick, grab spine as high as you can reach and put your toe on the tree, you can walk right up to the step easily... that’s just shy of 8’ on first step. If needed I’ll go cheat high on next one. Now I’m 15’ish on 2 sticks with no monkey business and can take it easy after that to 20. And if you nervous or new to climbing the sketchy part is under 5’
Pm your number if you need and I can video a few techniques if needed (done it for several)
I like the longer sticks myself
