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)

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..

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

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.

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.
