   Starting from the bottom, take the branches off one-by-one   
   (symmetrically, so as not to off-balance it) until you can get a ladder   
   near the top.  Then cut off a small section of the top, using ropes to   
   make it fall away from your ladder.  Then cut a bit further down etc.   
   until it is a manageable height.
