Got a friend in town and he's pretty set on doing the Yellow Spur tomorrow.  We'll be dawn patrolling as I want to try to beat the heat, or atleast the sun.  Anyone have a pretty good idea what time the Redgarden Wall goes into the sun these days?

Thanks

Probably around 9:30 or 10?

Yellow Spur stays in the shade most of the morning so you should be good to go!

If you follow this link: Tower One Climbing Area Map, then click the "sun angles" box it'll give you a decent idea. By that I'd guess you might have until 11 or so? It's still hard to say for sure.

Awesome guys.  Thanks for the responses.  I had a feeling we would be good if we were off by 11ish but thanks for the confirmation.
