Approaching the crux on Mr. Squirrel Places A Nut.

Mr. Squirrel's beginning.

Mr. Squirrel.

Yeah, I know he's hanging, but the "secret" crux edge is on the right side of the roof. Match it and throw the right hand up to another good edge. Don't have to heel-hook with right foot unless to clip above the roof.

Eric over the roof. Where are the feet???

Friso turning the roof. That is a big roof.

Zack, I believe? E-mail, and I'll send you some more photos....

I guess this is off route but, anyway, This is the first crux where the feet are just smearing where you have to traverse right for a move before stemming back across the crack (as in photo) for a good rest higher up. I didn't move right initially and went too far up the crack and got ejected coming around to the right.

At the lower crux.
