The safest way must be with a Cherry Picker, but you probably didnt want to hear that or ?.
There is no way a Gutter Vac system would work effeciently at that height, the weight would be too much and you would have real problems getting it between the Gutters and Tiles.
A ladder would work, but would be REAL work.
If you cant use a cherry picker and/or its too expensive, then leave it well alone.

price it for ladder work, and also price it do have someone footing you at all times,

or if your adventurous, just buy a tripple and go it alone,

Not true, as I've got a gutter vacuum and can clean three stories with no problems.
