A portable modular ladder and tree stand which can be attached to a vertical object to be climbed-such as a tree. The ladder's structure is preferably provided by two or more vertical climbing sticks locked together. These climbing sticks can be secured to the object to be climbed by a securing strap or other conventional means. A set of rungs extend outward from the climbing sticks. The invention also includes a pivoting connection between a climbing stick and a tree stand attached thereto. A set of climbing sticks and associated tree stand can be assembled on the ground and then rotated up against a tree. The pivoting connection allows a user to rotate the tree stand away from the climbing sticks before attaching the tree stand to the tree. A second embodiment includes a swing link and two pivot joints in order to accommodate the complex motion of a camming tree stand.
