I'd recommend going in the late afternoon/early evening – the light is better for photos, and it'll be cooler than the midday sun. Plus, you'll get some amazing city lights as you ascend. Ditch the heavy backpack, though. Seriously. You'll regret it. A small day bag is more than enough. Wear comfortable shoes, and maybe take some water. You’ll be fine!

Try using the escalators near the Mid-Levels escalator system; it’ll get you a good portion of the way up without the insane incline. You'll still have a bit of a walk, but it'll be significantly less brutal on your knees. There's also potentially some smaller back streets you could navigate, but using Google Maps street view beforehand might be wise to scout out a gentler route.
