My climbing rope got stuck 40 feet up a red oak in Salem, and a jogger with a tennis ball saved the day
I was alone on a Saturday job and spent 20 minutes yanking on a stuck throw line before a guy walking his dog offered to lob a tennis ball at the limb. Third toss knocked it loose, and I bought him a coffee at the gas station on the corner, so what is your go-to trick when a line gets hung up with nobody around?

A stuck throw line 40 feet up is annoying but it's not like the tree is gonna eat your rope or something. Worst case you walk away, come back with a pole saw or a buddy and a ladder, and get it down later. Sounds like the real win here was a free coffee and a dog pet, not some life or death rescue.
