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.

The block of wood to level the ladder would need a secure place to be
positioned. If there is no place to securely position the legs of the
ladder, then there is no place to securely position the block of wood.
Since it sounds like some type of landing spot needs to be built anyway,
I'd make sure the landing spot was level in the first place.

My best ladder has a leg extender -adjustable.

Or is the landing spot where you fall and end up?
