      System could be taken as set up. But the word escalate etymologically was used to define the action of escalator going up (or going up on an escalator). So I took it as &lit.

    Was travelling and did the puzzle on my cell phone. From M.P. to Rajasthan, network was pretty good. Very painful, however to solve on the mobile. The IA version is not mobile friendly at all. On the other hand, the Guardian IA version is very useful friendly. You can find the clue both at the top and bottom of the grid. Wish someone at TH works on this aspect as well.
