Default String beans climbing too high

My string beans are climbing so high, they are above
the netting strung against 6' wall, and waving their tendrils
desperately in the air.

Will it upset them if I nip off the too-high portions?

I remember reading somewhere, maybe Sq Ft Gardening, that if you clip
them at the top, they will start a new shoot somewhere lower down and
begin the bloom cycle all over on that new shoot.

Last year I let mine dangle - this year I'll clip them off. Will report
this fall.
