In reply to static266:
I don't remember it as particularly escapable either. But, I do remember it as being very good - with the continuation, which is no harder and easier to vary. Underrated! I've never fancied the Staircase because it looks so dark and greasy, whilst the slab/buttress is clean and airy. Might be good for rope practice after gaining a bit more confidence!
Always worth taking others' advice with a pinch of salt. My first time scrambling in North Wales, I was planning a relaxed day on my own doing the Cwm Bochlwyd horseshoe, but a friend told me: "no, no... You want to start up The Wrinkled Tower, you'll be bored otherwise." Well, it wasn't boring, that's for sure.
