You can get through quite a lot with a set of loppers

I've got a huge (15 foot-ish high) spiky hedge along the bottom of my garden, not sure what it is but it has on average 1-2cm thick branches absolutely sheathed in spikes.
It was getting out of hand when we moved in this time last year, it's now confirmed out of hand and want to cut it back before it grows/leaves again.
Next door has a petrol hedge trimmer thing with an extension (hedge goes along their side as well) but saw him using it last year and it wasn't very effective or speedy.
What's the best tool for the job? Cheaper is better than expensive. Quicker is better than slower. (It's about 35 feet across so lots of trimming to do)
Wondering if high quality shears and a ladder would be best bet. Would prefer a powered and less energy intensive method though.
