Default Bathroom exhaust fans venting in attic. Problem?

I bought two through-the-soffit vents for the remodel of my upstairs
bathrooms from the local borg (Home Depot or Lowe's, can't remember which).
These are relatively inexpensive plastic units with a screened opening and a
snap on hood. Quite easy to hook up from the outside of the house if there
is a bit of slack in the flexible duct -- just cut the opening in the
correct place, pull the duct through, clamp in over the snout, and screw the
vent in place. This is FAR easier than messing about in the attic,
especially if you have a lot of insulation up there.

Thanks, but unfortunately, the roof line is about 35-40 feet from the
ground so the only solution is to go at it from the attic. I want to
fix the problem, but not kill myself in the process.
