I decided to go for it with the tools on hand... been doing it without a extandable hedge trimmer all these years, what’s one more. Lol. Actually since I have been doing a good bit of ladder climbing at work, that part wasn’t so bad. I think I took about 5ft off the top. Didn’t get a pic before I started, but it’s probably 4ft less diameter now.
