A 35 will get them easy

Maybe stuck a gooseneck on, it'd make them bottoms easier but it depends on how far away you can stand (the angle in which you can clean the window)

It don't look long enough it's set back a few feet or it's using a longer pole and stood further back from the property maybe

I have a job like this.I use a 40ft pole with 14 inch goose neck,you would probably get away with a 35ft.
I have been told that 25inch goose necks at height are hard to control.

To accurately assess you would need to know the depth from the ledge to the glass surface. If you had this measurement then I could give you a definitive answer as to what gooseneck is needed.
