The effect of gravity on the object at the other end of the tether would be so strong you'd need an infinite amount of force to pull it out.

You're forgetting that the idea of the event horizon is that even light cannot escape as the effect of gravity is too strong.

If a massless photon does not have the energy to escape, then how could you ever accumulate enough to free something with mass.
