What are some nice shaded crags (sport or trad) to visit at this time? This past weekend at Rumney was unpleasant to climb even in the shade. I am in Boston but unfamiliar with what NE has to offer, other than Rumney, Sundown, Farley and Cathedral/Whitehorse. There must be crags that aren't west or south facing? Write me if you have a cool place you'd want to visit but nobody else does. Happy to belay on projects if needed!

Only been up there once so I'm not sure about the shade but as for the crowds check out the Evans notch area. Laughing lion was really cool and I think the wild river if not in the shade is a bit cooler that other areas

Crow Hill is well shaded. Farley has a number of crags where you can escape the sun.
