Awkward horizontal pipe cleaning

So the guy that I bought my house from set up his exhaust in a really awkward place for cleaning. I can clean the bottom of the pipe from below by taking the cap off and using a brush. But I can't really get to the top horizontal section. He put it right underneath the AC unit. So when I put a ladder up it's too far to reach. Does anybody have any good ideas about how to clean this horizontal pipe? Is the only way to clean from the inside by taking the pipe apart?

Maybe? I'm kind of new to this. If I twist that pipe will there be enough give between the other sections to be able to get it out? Also, is there generally some kind of silicone or something between the pipes to keep it sealed?

Next time you have pipe off take out that 90 and put in a t with a clean out cap.Not as pretty but very handy.

I like that idea Bob! No ladders make me happy! Do you think that it will swap out easily in terms if dimensions?

I'm goin with the T. Awesome! Simple and less chance if bodily injury. Thanks!

In the end, the guy I hired to clean the pipe because I couldn't get to it showed me how to clean it myself. He suggested using a ladder stabilizer which gets me out far enough that I can go over the AC unit. Nice guy! He definitely did not have to tell me that. But I appreciate his honesty.
