Much depends on "how steep is 'steep'" and what the ground makeup is and

In severe cases, one may drive stakes or the like...in really, really

So basically build someplace for the ladder to rest, and of course tie it off. Yeah, that makes sense.

I'd hire a "ladder monkey"

Station the ladder, drive some rebar in the ground and secure the legs
of the ladder to it. It the ladder is slanted in one direction add a
block of wood under the leg and then secure the rebar and legs.
