Go to a rental shop and rent a 48' ladder. Tie it down as you climb up, since it will be pretty straight up and down. Use leather gloves since the cat will be spooked. Also, wear ver thick clothing, since the cat will be gripping you all the way down.

One time I had a cat go up a tree and the ladder didn't quite make it. I created a lasso machine with a rope and a 2 inch plastic pipe. I drilled a hole in the side near the cat end, tied a knot, left a loop coming out the end, and the string down the middle. You pull on the string and the lasso tightens. Not exactly nice for the cat, I brought it down. It gave me about 6-7 feet more, which is all I needed.
