Hood release cable broken under hood

Has anyone ever experienced this and/or know how to get hood open on a 2008 F250?

Where the handle is. Can you get in there with a long pair of pliers and pull on the cable?

The cable was disconnected under the hood at the coupler and was not reconnected and the hood was closed! My plan is to pull the grille if I can and see if I can get to it!

Yeah, as I recall, grill has to come off, you may have to unbolt the latch because the cable run is higher than access. Definetly doable without a lot of work,
