I would think you would need through bolts, washers, and nuts if you want to go that route. You would also need to plane the two faces on each 6x6 that are getting glued for true adhesion.

Screws won't offer anything in terms of structural/shear strength. But I'm not a structural engineer and have never tried anything like this before.

One way or another you will need to build a landing platform. And stairs. So, you can use the back two 6x6s as both a platform base and an anchor for the guy wires plus, possibly, flood lights.
