The Jester

Description

The Jester climbs a short left facing crack system with thin fingers, rounded holds and an almost overhanging top out on wild and unique granite.

Start by climbing the first pitch of April Fools and belay at the same spot. Instead of climbing up the bithin' splitter that is April Fools, climb the ramp just to the left which quickly turns into a thin lieback. Some small gear protects the crack until you reach a bolt just below the crux. Higher up, take the direct route strait up. You can also head left to avoid the steep top out, but you're cheating yourself of the coolness. When you reach the ledge, belay in the crack system that is the start of The Last Laugh, or set a bomber directional and walk right along the ledge to the top out of April Fools. Rappel that route or continue up it to the top.

Location

Starts where April Fools does. Goes left at the second pitch.
