Spoiler for why not
use machines which give Timmy a mechanical advantage such as a block and tackle, a lever, a ramp, etc. Timmy could use one of these.

LOL

No, the second option is rather realistic, logical, and actually stated in the OP

If you consider sand to be ground, then Timmy could lift James any distance. Then when it's James' turn to lift Timmy, he grabs a couple of handfulls of sand and holds onto them when James lifts him. Timmy will be in contact with the ground the entire time.
