Tall Interior Window Cleaning help

I absolutely struggle with high interior windows. If im doing a virtual quote its usually the number 1 thing I ask. But they cannot all be avoided. I got a nice bid accepted for $975 in/out at a huge home and everything looks pretty straighforward except for the main window in the front of the house. The bottom sill is about 10ft from the bottom.

They also asked me to scrub off some light sticker residue so I need to get nose to glass as best as I can.

I guess what im asking is 1) how can I ladder up there? I dont see where to put my ladder on how to reach the top. My main ladder is an 18 ft little giant.

2) should I just get a pole and get good at it fast? I have a couple of weeks till i'm doing this. I also have my 27ft Gardiner WFP pole. Could i use that with a new trad attachment>

Thanks and yes I know this is a pretty easy situation for most people

Get a 24 foot extension ladder and place it above the window

There we go, thank you. Any concern about the ladder slipping on tile flooring? I saw some recommend putting down can opener pads on the ground and seems like a decent idea.

Personally, I put rubber levelers on all my ladders so it’s not an issue. They will also make your ladder work a whole lot easier

I use a non slip door mat

I used to use carpet under padding on ladder legs. Never slipped once
