Anyone know about hitting this route in midnovember. Ive tried to find some online topos(USGS) with little luck. Is this route south facing or does it get closer to no sun in the shorter fall days? Any info on route weather in the fall would be excellent.

I'm going to be in Zion some time during the last couple weeks of October or the first week of November, so I'll check and let you know.

This route gets morning sun...depending on the temps, the chimney pitches could be chilly. Headwall gets afternoon shade from the arete / buttress to climbers left. Have fun, great route, no hammering needed.

That's the preferred time to do it, with the spring falcon closures and all, however the days are very short. The route will get shady around 2pm, until you are very high on the headwall. Assuming typical weather (highs 50s-70s), you should be fine in the shade.
