Need some ideas.
I've got a tall tree I'm using a climber on next year. Base of tree is very large and my climber will fit around it but being the tree is much smaller at top I have to adjust the stand, making my stopping point coming down at the 6 ft mark. So basically my foot piece is at 6ft after adjustment is made to level me out up to hunting height.
How can I get up to my climber 6ft off ground without impeding my climber ? Any ideas. besides a step ladder ?

Maybe screw in steps to get you up that high. But it might be dicey getting in\out of stand.
USE A LIFELINE!!!
Another option might be to put a ladder stand against tree and use it to into the stand. It might be more stable since the seat could be used as a platform.
Again please dont do this without a good lifeline. It sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

Screw in and climbing sticks wont work, i need to get above the base. If I put something above the climber base, I cant get climber over it. Thought about a hoist of some kind

You can get a climber over screw in steps, I've done it many times in this exact scenario. However, you might think about a good lockon as an alternative.

It's not smart to remove pins to adjust a stand if both feet aren't on the ground. This is asking for a broken back.

I don't know how old you are, and I probably couldn't do it today because my body is a little more worn out than it used to be. Back when I hunted the swamps of Dallas and Lowndes County there was always wide trunk trees that narrowed quickly. I carried a half dozen screw in steps in my backpack just for that purpose. I normally used an ol man climber, which was very easy to maneuver around the steps, but I've also used a summit that would work around the steps without much trouble.

I had a tree like that in a beaver pond I hunted. I put screw in till I got to where the stand was and left a climber above them on the tree all year.

i carry a 5 step webbing aider i use in this scenario. just hang off the front of the platform and climb up. place you knee on the platform and stand up.
