I just did this while painting my foyer, around the same height. You’ll be fine with a towel over the end of the ladder.

I suddenly have no reason to fly on his airline.

Most chimneys in my neighborhood are open, thus water enters, yet fireplaces are blocked off. What happens to the water?

I have a few apparently cast-iron chimneys bedded in concrete. They have no hats on them. I’m not sure how the fireplaces were blocked off but it feels solid, as if they bricked them shut and plastered over it....

It’s very possible the chimney is capped or sealed and you can’t see it from the ground.

I had what looks like a very similar situation. If you’re not that concerned about the mold in the attic area, or can’t afford a major rix/remediation you could get some Kilz Upshot. It would cover the water stain and you’d be good to go for painting over it. I didn’t need to paint as the Upshot matched my ceiling paint perfectly. Edit: You should still attempt to clean the mold off as best you can with bleach first, but even after cleaning there will likely still be some staining which you could use the Kilz to cover.
