I would say a 45ft that`ll give you enough angle otherwise you me be too close to the building and struggle  ;)

35ft  :o  Ive got some 3 storey buildings that we use longer poles on!!

The highlighted window is effectively on the 7th floor, I would suggest you need a 65ft pole

40 to 45 ft should do it... It ain't all that high

I recon best thing to do is if you can get access to the inside is use a ball of string or wool and hold one end and throw it down to someone outside below then measure it but i recon i`m still the closest with 45ft  ;)

The picture resolution is not enough to do this but if you count the bricks, it's four courses per foot.  Add a fair bit for the angle of course but remember you can gain 3 feet (more with a superlite due to the weight).  If it's not too far, I suggest you return and have a count up.  60 foot will do it though but you ought to get away with less.

I was thinking about 55ft maybe but 60 would be better to make sure.  Time for a Superlite I would guess.

there is a drainpipe on the wall measure one section of it and see how many sections there are then you will have the height of pole you require, but looking at it i would say roughly between 50 and 60 feet
