Systems and methods for providing access for workers to cell towers are disclosed. The system is useful on “stealth” cellular towers that do not have external ladders or climbing pegs for aesthetic reasons. The system may include a channel (e.g., a track) that may be permanently mounted to the cell tower and extends from a bottom of the cell tower to a top of the cell tower as well as a track-line (e.g., a chain, a belt, etc.) located within the channel such that the track-line acts as a loop running from the bottom of the cell tower to the top of the cell tower, and vice versa. A modular ladder with climbing pegs may be attached to the track-line and inserted into the channel such that the modular ladder may be pulled up the channel to the top of the cell tower by the track-line and then secured.
