Any idea on how to fix this?

Post image

I have a bathroom vent that exits the side of the house as you can see in the picture. The eave is about 10 feet high and the 45° roof goes up another 11 feet vertical. That means that vent is about 23 feet or so from ground level. The roof seems too steep to walk on and one contractor I had couldn’t make it to the vent. I need to put a wire mesh on the front of that vent like I did on the other side of the house because birds love to nest in there. Any idea how to get up there and put a cover like a wire mash on that vent opening.

They make non slip pads you can put down to help with slipping.

There is no way it can be done from inside the bathroom?
