Hi Taffers,
I've climbed the wall up to the pipe that leads to the clocktower but I cant seem to jump onto the pipe.
I used the old rope taffing trick which is to press space and the forward button and jump forward but I just falls to the ground!
I also tried using the left button to mantle sideways but I end up just looking sideways.
Grateful if anyone could tell me what to do,
sara.

You should be able to climb around it until you're hanging on the wall above it. Then you just let go.
If you're not able to do that, then maybe you've got the wrong pipe?
EDIT: you are approaching the left side of the pipe, right?

I find the climbing quite awkward too. I solved the problem of being unable to get onto the pipe by just climbing up the wall right under the grate, then switching to 3rd person view to get a view suitable to activate the glyph.

That's funny, I never had a problem with the Climbing Gloves. In fact, I was able to scale almost every wall and get on most rooftops! Don't tell anyone, but I found the bow upgrade somewhere on the rooftops in Auldale...

Thanks all.
I found out it was because I always reset my game so that left arrow looks left and right arrow right; this helps me escaping.
I went into the options screen and assigned the move sideways keys (which I never normally use) to A and B for left and right. Then I was able to to mantle sideways onto the pipe.

Have you thought of using the mouse for turning? Really, you're severely hampering yourself if you're playing with the keyboard only.

Strangely, my first play of Dark Project was keyboard only. I had just finished Might and Magic VI which was keyboard only (almost 10 years ago), and just rolled with it.

Climb above the surface you want to access. Use the Strafe keys and move to the side until you are over the pipe or other level. LOOK DOWN TO MAKE SURE.
Then TURN to face where you want to go before you move. In this game, the head turns but the body DOES NOT. Unlike the earlier games or others where you move in the direction you are looking.
So turn the body then walk or run.
In most of the climbing situations where you need to get on a pipe or whatever, climb above the pipe. Strafe right or left until you are over it. Then back down until your weapons icon reappears. Then TURN THE BODY to the direction and walk away.

Good lord.
How did you aim the bow?
