halyard @ top of mast
If you really, really want to avoid stepping the mast, you might try getting a painter''s pole--12-15 feet--and lashing it to a telescoping boat hook or brush. When my throat halyard block''s eyestrap gave way and the block went to the top of the mast, I lashed together a telescoping boat hook and telescoping brush and snagged the block. My mast is about 20 feet above the deck, but the block was several feet shy of the top of the mast.
Cheers,
Bruce
