Has anyone "conquered the tower" at Windsor

For about $10 more than the price of a regular admission ticket to Windsor Castle one can get a guided tour of the Round Tower. The view from the tower is great. However, I noticed that there are sections of the castle building that are tall. Do tourists have access to these towers? That is to say, is paying the extra $10 the only way to get an elevated view of the castle grounds? Also, the tower tour guide doesn't rush people up the 200 steps, right? The climb is done at a reasonable pace, right? Thanks for your input.

The Round Tower just reopened to the public last year in September, after being closed almost 40 years.
