Crazy to do PS in mid-August? More shade then sun? I was hoping because of its position it will get more afternoon shade then morning sun but I'm not sure.

If anyone has a good suggestion of a grade IV/V, mostly shady, aid for a group of three to do mid-August I'd love any suggestions.

PSun weather was fine in Aug. 2009 (but we're from Oregon & treasure our sunshine)

Larry.... your a genius. It's almost like.. your a local.. and know exactly what I want.

I like it. Our bumper sticker from last weekend on the diamond. Drink low, Sleep high. I'm assuming Finger and Phantom get mostly shade? Obviously, I'm not a mud connoisseur..

Beaking in Tongues on the Oracle is way shady.

Phantom...Iron Chef...Westside...Brer Rabbit (kinda shady)...Hazing?


I will probably be out there middle to end of this month as well.

I like it in the middle of summer cuz it keeps the hordes at bay and all the camping spots are free!


Mmm...balmy!

Enjoy.

Do you guys know if the flow route on river tower would be in the shade most of the day in August?

Ummm...no!

Jeremy, you beat me to it. I was just looking at the aspect. Looks like it faces west, aka.. Lots of sun.

There is a N. Face route.

The Forrest route is a shitshow...let it erode away.

Rasta Wall is good but will be sunny.

Savage Master (Beyer) is on the north side but haven't done it.

Prodigal sun or any routes on the N Face of angels landing will be perfect to climb in August. Someone just posted some beta on the prodigal sun page about a recent ascent.

Prodigal sun is a fun route, though a bit of a glorified bolt ladder.
In my opinion the best route on the formation is the Lowe Route. Better free climbing, better position, and much more classic. Either way have fun.

Going for Standing Rock! Wish us luck!
