It does seem like an attraction for epics.

I'm not sure if there was much discussion of it at the time, but at Christmas last year a ground found themselves in a spot of difficulty on the candlestick and ended sitting out a night at the base.

The group never actually set off their PLB apparently it was somehow triggered during their shenanigans. By the time emergency crew showed one of the party had managed to swim and aid climb up to a stance high up on the mainland. But the rest were instructed to remain put at the small cove at the base of the mainland.
