   Hi Charles!

   Mission aborted. I can't get high enough on the steel gates next to the tree   
   to reach the wire with the gripper. I am about 1 foot short. One more rung on   
   the gate could probably do it, but I wouldn't be able to lean onto the gate   
   with my legs very well if I was higher.  Considering the length of the   
   wire/cable (and by the amount of visual slack) the cable could be pretty heavy   
   to pull anyway.   
      
   I think my next option it to just call the power company to turn off the   
   electrical to the house, and atleast saw down the remaining tree that is   
   holding up the phone wire. Then maybe the power-company field guys can secure   
   the phone wire to clear the public road.
