Going to be chasing the shade in Moab next week, where should I climb? Anything through 10's.

Only spots that I am familiar with are Ice Cream Parlor by Kane Creek (west facing so morning shade) and Wall Street/Potash Road (east facing so late afternoon/evening shade)

From 9pm to 6am everything is in the shade. No crowds either.

Full moon is on Monday, so this might actually be good advice.

Potash after 5pm can be quite good, or before 8am. When you get hot head over to the rec center and jump in the pool(they have an indoor/outdoor pool with a sick high dive).

River Road Dihedrals faces north.
Scar and Mars areas after about 4PM. Shady a little earlier than Wall Street.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
