How to pull rocks out of pipe in the ground?
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.

It is either a powerful vacuum or a blower depending on the size of the gravel.
a powerful vacuum
A shop vac, maybe with a narrow extender.
If OP is in the US -- which I assume he is, from the inch measurement -- I'd bet that he can probably rent one at a large hardware store, like Home Depot, if he doesn't have any use for one outside of this.

eh, they could live as well in Liberia or Myanmar
I’ve never seen a shot vac extension that would fit into a 2” pipe

Not specifically recommending this one, but this has a crevice tool and adapters for various diameter shop vac hoses.
