The flagpole is about 20 foot tall, the existing rope is off, so I can't thread a new one to it. I can't use an extension ladder, as the pole will bend, or I'll be injured. The "truck" or pulley is covered, only the bottom half of the pulley is visable

You really need to rent a 'cherry picker' or 'scissor lift' to get up that high safely. However, that is an expensive option.
Alternately, take down the pole. Once you string the rope you can reset the pole in the ground, perhaps it in a way that will make it easier in the future.

Sounds like you need an a frame ladder or something like it. A new pulley could be bought at Lowes Or somewhere like that.

Use Two Ladders - leaning against each other, with you on one and a buddy on the other, about the same weight as you. Go up evenly and stay in balance.
