[TowerTalk] Hang wires....

Slightly changing the subject, is there a good way to slice off thin 
overhanging branches at the 20-30ft level?

Things that won't work in this particular location:
* No way to get a cherry-picker out there.
* A scaffold tower wouldn't give enough sideways reach - you'd spend 
forever dismantling, moving and rebuilding the thing.
* Climbing the tree and sawing off branches from the trunk would take 
out too much.

I seem to remember someone suggested using one of those thin steel wire 
saws with two lengths of rope down to ground level. It would be easy 
enough to use a 30ft fishing pole to position the saw over the branch... 
but was that just an idea, or does it actually work?
