My main halyard pulled through as I was raising the mast and I am looking for suggestions on how to rethread it. Since it is completely out I don't have the option of attaching it to the old halyard and pulling it through. Any suggestions for rethreading it through the mast will be appreciated

snapped halyard
Thanks for your suggestions. I ended up taking the cap off the top of the mast and pushing the halyard down with a thin stick. Once I got to the spinnaker block, I was able to grab the line with a small wire prong I borrowed from the marina.
