Today watched a squirrel literally take a 10C variation somewhere high above ellis Eliminate at Stanage ... Apart from being really surprised to see a squirrel at the crag (not even close to Plantation either) got to wondering if there is quadra-ped any better suited to climbing? Strength to weight and crimptastic talons seem to give it top trump (the other one) status.
I’ve seen him up there a few times, he head points loads of routes then makes out he on sight solos them when there’s a few spectators. He comes across bit of a knob TBH and he steals your nuts
Rock faces are a bit fractal - there are holes on many different scales. The smaller holes we din't even notice combined with rigid, curved talon-like spiky nails on squirrels make it a vertical walk in the park I reckon.
Just have to serve them with the correct accompaniment.... Onion, mushroom, garlic, definitely some chillies. Come to think of it, crispy chilli squirrel is probably nice.
