Default Aluminum ladder length

Hello everyone... I live in an older two storey home. I want to
purchase an aluminum ladder so that I will be able to safely clean out
the rain gutters and eavestroughes. Will a 32 foot ladder be suitable
(grade 2)? Your thoughts please. Thank you for your time.

It should be fine. Keep in mind that the better the grade of the ladder, the
more weight it will carry and the feel will be more rigid. If you are not
particularly comfortable up on an extension ladder, you may want to consider
a type 1 or 1a.
