I know very little about squirrels hence I ruled out virtually nothing. Do ground squirrels climb trees normally? It may simply have run up the tree when we approached.

I agree, doesn't look like Plaintain Squirrel - but did you rule out Shrew-faced Squirrel? See http://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6734&subview=table&taxon_id=45933&view=species
