Default DIY Willow Tree Chopping?

I have a huge willow tree that is emitting sawdust out the bottom, and
has some dead limbs. Is this a dead tree?
Say I am too cheap to just pay the pros to cut it down. What is the
best way to get up there to cut limbs off this monster with my 16"
electric chainsaw?
I have thought about huge ladders, tree-house 2x4 steps nailed to the
tree, renting a lift, getting a tree-guy to just chop it off above 22
feet and disposing of the mess myself, so on.
