The rough numbers I can find are that the acid cloud layer is ~75km thick, which seems awfully long for any kind of tether that'll have to support its own weight. With the low pressure (~0.1 ATM) it'd also need to be a rather big balloon.
Further down, the ~100m/s (~220 mph) winds on the tether would likely try to drag everything sideways, scraping any probe across the landscape.
