it does say that the root must be full supported by the tower. You still have to hang from it without touching the ground.

Are the jack up legs still going to touch the ground at the end of the match?

If so then you wouldn't be fully supported by the tower and not get the climbing points.
Check the definition of TOWER.

the part of the CASTLE constructed between PLAYER STATIONS two (2) and three (3)
with three (3) faces, three (3) RUNGS, five (5) GOALS, a BATTER, and a CORRAL
The BATTER is part of the TOWER, so just sitting on the BATTER you are fully supported by the TOWER.
