Shadow Ruins, Tower Area

When the authors of the walkthrough said they had "difficulty getting our characters to jump on ledges" in the Tower Area, they weren't kidding.
My dwarf can access the first ledge, but cannot climb up to the second ledge. I've tried going back into the tower from the islands, tried reseting the loose brick, and I am well and truly stumped. I can press the jump key and he'll jump but will not go into "climb up" mode.
Has anyone else encountered this? and if so, please help. This is the fourth rune glyph for me in the Shadow Ruins and I'd sure hate not to be able to finished this game.

All I can suggest is to keep trying. When I had trouble, I sometimes had my character jump down and then climb back up and try again. Oddly, while my human male fighter had trouble on the tower, my female elf spellcaster climbed it easily.

Problem
Yeah, I killed that shadow wraith on the ledge that kept pelting my dwarf with spells; and I keep jumping down to kill the local fauna when it appears. But the dwarf refuses to climb to the second ledge after climbing the first ledge.
A Levitation Spell would definitely be in order here.
Maybe it's a dwarf thing. Interesting that your female elf could climb it with ease.

Don't worry even dwarfs can do it (I did it). What worked for me was moving sideways a little and trying again. Apparantly getting the exact spot is a bit tricky.

That did it for me too. Moving a smidge sideways got me up there. It must be the wall itself that interferes with the jump or climb.
I was able to get to the top of the Chamber of Spirits with no problems. Of course, that tower had no walls to speak of. Other then the Shadow Ruins Tower, my guy was a pretty good climber and jumper.

THANK YOU!!! I moved my dwarf a wee bit to the side (almost off) of the ledge and darned if he didn't climb up. Doing this all the way up I was able to activate the fourth and final rune glyph.
Thank you BB and Soozie!!!

Shadow Ruins, Tower Area - Need Coordinates
I've tried everything to climb up this tower...I need the coordinates to get to the top so I can kill whatever is hammering me with ice spells! Please, I'm not interested in advise, (I've think I've tried everything). I need the x,y,z coordinates. I have a game editor that I got from this forum, but I can't keep guessing at the location.
Help would really be appreciated!
