past which they can't slide??
cable ties will be sufficient and easy to experiment with

His problem will still be the ladder though.

To the OP, how high up is the wire and by what amount does it slope?


ah well my ingenious lowering mechanism gets it within easy reach for
"loading" purposes ;)

You didn't mention that you can easily lower the wire.

Then use the centenary wire grips with a bit of dowel between the wire
and the grip, hang the feeders and hoist back up/
