We use 1) a 7' collapsible ladder, 2) extend a pole with brush on the end and 3) a cordless blower. When it is wet or moist a blower is useless. If you are under pine trees and the needles are falling they will fill your gutters and the only way to get them out is with the brush. Of course, you can do as I did one year and just sort of "put it off", then, when you take the brush to get the pine needles out they have then decomposed enough to be a real pain, so IMO just do it regularly in those situations as I now do. I also keep a head for the extend a pole that is sort of like lambs wool that I permeate with seal conditioner and coat them after cleaning them (I have a walkable roof with ladder but can no longer try to navigate that).
