I believe that the stem ball fittings at the mast should allow the rod to articulate and exit in a straight line. I also believe that the stem balls can slide out of place when not under tension. It may be as easy as pulling/twisting on the rod to get them to align and drop into place. If that fails, go up the mast and inspect. As long as the other shrouds are reasonably tight you should be fine to climb. If you feel more comfortable, there is a good chance that the first shroud is within reach of a ladder.
