I have a simple fix for your not being able to climb a tree: Hyper-Pet Tennis Ball Launcher

I used it to put my 40m antenna between trees next to my townhome. No one knows I'm a ham, they can't see the wire all the way up there and I'm back on the air.

Simply drill a hole through the ball, put a thin bolt through it with a washer and nut on the other end. Loop some heavy twine around the bolt under the washer before tightening. Leave @ 10 feet of twine and create a knot at the end to attach wire to.

Attach the wire by looping it through the knot several times.

Use the launcher and give it a good pull back, enough to launch the ball, twine and wire over the tree.

I'm thinking you can figure out the rest. :-)
