I agree with RBM. That concrete is probably a firestop and does not go all
the way up the wall. If you can get a fish tape along side the existing
cable you may be able to determine how high you can go. If it is balloon
framing you could probably snake up to the attic. Patch that hole up when
you are finished running your wires.
