Description
We opted to scramble up into the saddle between The Courier and The Sage starting from there. Climb up a tiered dihedral, get to the highest ledge between the two, and fire up the steep spitter to the top!
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 and well worth addition to the traverse! Seriously this is an awesome summit, but it is not a part of the OG Kasparov Traverse.
Location
This is the Northernmost tower in the group of three just beyond The Rook, see the photo. It is directly west of the Bishop's Scepter.
Protection
A single rack up to #3, runners, and cord for the top.
