Description Suggest change

Scramble to a ledge under an obvious roof. Pull around the roof to a hand/fist crack that widens to a squirm before the next ledge.

Protection Suggest change

Book says gear to 2.5 inches.

An optional 4" cam can be useful mid-route.  Higher up, at the namesake crux squirm can be protected with ~2" gear at the slot's beginning, then wiggling through the crux above your pro.  (Or optionally, some other much-larger-cam might allow for placing pro a bit higher near that crux, but it's not essential.)

About 75 feet up, the route reaches “Talking Heads Ledge”.  From that ledge, another ~15 feet of crack climbing will reach the cliff-top.  At the top of the upper-crack that is just-right of Not So Easy and just-left of Slot Machine, there is a shared pair of bolts (new in 2025) equipped with steel lower-off carabiners.
