Description
The Jester climbs the first tower in the trio. It is a bit licheny but has fun moves. Start climbing in the saddle between The Jester and The Sage. Climb up and right on steep, tiered slab, and make the crux move through the vertical section where the rock bulges out. Finish off by traversing right and topping out.
To my knowledge, none of this trio tower group had been done (Jester, Sage, or Courier), and there is no evidence of prior ascents, so be wary of
loose rock
, we tried to clean as best as we could. The 3 names reflect the additional Courier Chess pieces in a game that preceded chess in the 12th century.
*This is a fun addition, but it is not a part of the OG Kasparov Traverse.
Location
This is the first tower you see when hiking past the Rooks pawn to the Northwest.
Protection
A standard rack.
