The rope broke on our 30 ft flagpole today. Is there a safe, inexpensive way
to get the new rope through the pulley, short of renting a man lift?

The pole is one piece hollow aluminum, about 6" in diameter at the bottom,
tapering down to maybe 3" diameter at the top. It's set 3 to 4 ft deep in
400 lbs of cement. Is it safe for a brave volunteer to shimmy up the pole? I
told him "NO" so far.

Thanks for any advice. Dave
