I'm at the clock tower with my climbing gloves and I find I can only climb in a straight line up. I cannot turn around or otherwise maneuver to get to the pipe leading to the glyph on the other side. How can I maneuver using the gloves or can I? If anyone knows how, what are the control keys used to to turn around, etc?
I've run into this situation before in the 'Escape from Pavelock Prison' mission. I can get out of jail OK but I come to a place which is a few stories up. I climb a ladder there but cannot turn oround to get at the opening entrance where the guards are so I can get out. Is this the way out or is there another area I'm supposed to escape from?
Thanks for any suggestions

So you're having trouble getting into the clocktower?
From memory (I have uninstalled TDS at this point) you can climb up and over the pipe (maybe on the opposite side of the street?), then shimmy across and drop onto the pipe. Hope this helps.
As to pavelock I just worked my way up through each of the rooms. There is just a network of chambers and stairs that you can use to climb out.

Once you are on a wall you can move left or right with the "strafe" keys. A/D keys will slide you left and right.
You can also JUMP sideways around an obstruction and continue to climb.
In the Clocktower there is some loot on a high ledge on a side wall that requires exactly the above movements.
Hit JUMP and the Direction key at the same time. Try it on some of the smoother walls, such as the gate by IRONWOOD, or in AULDALE on the plaza level below the guard at the Inn. The level with the crates just before the arch to the Inn.
At the Clocktower mission, put your back to the wall with the two grates (the ones that are steaming). To your right front is a angled niche with the pipes crossing to it above you on the right.
Go to the niche and climb the wall to the RIGHT of the pipes. Climb well above them. Use the LEFT STRAFE key and slide over to the pipes. LOOK DOWN. Then very slowly BACK DOWN to the pipe. ONE CLICK AT A TIME. When your weapons disappear, you will be standing on the pipe. Turn and look toward the tower. THEN USE THE right turn button to turn your body.
In TDS the head turns but the body does not. So you need to align your body with the direction you want to go, else you will fall off the pipes, ledge etc.
