Description
Jester is a fun pitch broken by a big ledge into two parts: an overhanging splitter and a runout chimney.
An overhanging thin-hands splitter feeds into the corner, followed by a crux layback to the big midway ledge. Wiggle up a fun easy chimney (no pro for the first half) past a roof/cap to the two-bolt chain anchor.
Location
Two-tiered right-facing corner 20 feet left of Mid-Evil Times.
Directions: From just below the main saddle on the approach trail, cut left on a good climber's trail and follow it clockwise around the spire and naturally up to the middle of the south face. Scramble up a short 4th-class step up left onto the starting ledge. Continue left past Excalibur and Mid Evil Times to the end of the ledge where the route begins.
