There is no way up there. You cant climb or teleport. You have to get a helicopter which requires you to steal something. That gets you a wanted level and you cant do a mission with a wanted level.

I tried and tried to do it without buying a helipad and helicopter. I swear I saw a parachute icon pop up near the Maze Tower [not the one on the construction site across the street] but that disappeared when I got near.
Just ended up buying that helipad and flew up there :c

With what money? Its a main point in the game that nobody pays you for ANYTHING you do.

Wait till after you beat the game then, or buy a parachute and steal a plane at the airport.
as you may presently yourself fully be aware of, my grammar sucks.

You can't persuade fanboys. You'd be better off trying to convince a wall. ~CodeNamePlasmaSnake~

there is a para somewhere near the building too. it will get you to the top, but I dunno if you can still talk to the guy because you are doing one of those para missions. just walk around the entrance of the building and you will see the parachute.
Flying a helicopter is the most used option to get on top of the Maze Tower, you just need to get a helicopter first.
The easiest way is getting a Buzzard Attack Chopper using cheat [For PC version, press tilde and type BUZZOFF], after that just fly it towards the top of the Maze Tower. If you don't want to use cheat, you can either purchase a helicopter or steal one, the nearest place to get a helicopter is the helipads on the Central Los Santos Medical Center.
Once you arrived this building, you need to climb one or two ladders from the ground to reach the helipads, sometimes the helicopters may not spawn there, in that case, try to leave the area a few blocks away then go back there and the helicopter will possibly be there, but sometimes it still won't show up even after several visits, then you have to go to other helicopter locations, which are all listed on this page.
2. Fly an Atomic Blimp
Aside from flying a helicopter, the Atomic Blimp can also be used to fly to the building's roof easily. The blimps and helicopters are generally considered easier to control compared to a plane, though the blimp is much slower than other aircraft.
The blimp can be ordered on an app on the phone, and then pick up it in the Vinewood Racetrack [in the enhanced version of the game, it can be acquired for free by calling the Blimp contact on the phone and then picking it from the location shown on the map]. You can also hijack a NPC blimp, though it's not as easy as hijacking a car.
3. Fly a plane
The third option is to get an airplane, you can hijack an airplane in Los Santos International Airport, it's recommended to get a smaller plane, as larger ones are difficult to land on roof of the building. But it's not necessary to land the plane onto the building, you can first fly the plane over the Maze Tower and jump out of the cab to parachute to the roof, before you doing this you need to buy a parachute in advance [parachutes are automatically equipped after the mission Minor Turbulence].
Note that the parachuting method should not be used if your purpose of getting to the roof of the tower is to meet Dom Beasley there, because parachuting will make the plane explode on the street and then trigger a wanted level, in that case Dom will not show up on the tower.
How to get up the Maze Tower?
You cant climb or teleport. You have to get a helicopter which requires you to steal something. That gets you a wanted level and you cant do a mission with a wanted level. Buy the helipad and buy a helicopter?
Where can Franklin get a helicopter?
Locations such as Davis's Sherriff Station, Central Los Santos Medical Center, and Vespucci Police Station have helicopters that can be stolen. Fort Zancudo is a dangerous place to get a helicopter due to a four-star wanted level and military threats, but it has helipads with regularly parked choppers.
How to meet Dom at the top of the building?
Dom will send Franklin a text message saying he's climbed the Maze Bank building. To reach Dom, you'll have to buy/steal a helicopter and fly up to the Maze Bank rooftop [there's no entrance from the ground floor]. After the cutscene and make the leap towards the city skyline.
How to equip a parachute in GTA 5?
When players are on a helicopter or plane, the parachute is automatically equipped. When they jump out, they will be prompted to deploy their parachute. Pressing “X” deploys the parachute, and diving can be controlled with the left analog stick, just like walking. Slowing down is important for a smooth landing.
