If you live in the country you might try a shotgun to sever the line.  I used that method to trim webworms from tall trees at my father-in-laws farm.  Cheap, easy, albeit a little noisy.

## I have a 8-32 x 56mm  rifle scope..and also a 10-50 x 60mm  rifle scope that would probably do the job.. provided no wind. 
It would be cheap entertainment. 

##  Installing a pulley up there requires somebody to 1st climb the tree in question.  I assume he just shot a line over a branch, and now its jammed up tight.
