I definitely would not bore cut that unless it is leaning hard or very heavily weighted in a direction that you are ok with it going. I have cut several like that by gradually nibbling away at the face cut until it kinda caves in on itself, but would have to assess it in person to see if that would be an option. I think the rope as high as you can get it, make your cuts, then get away and pull it over would be the safest option. As stated above, definitely would NOT cut off of a scaffold or ladder unless you like paying doctors and undertakers.
