Never gone in the summer but will be there this weekend. Looking to climb 11/12 mostly. Any suggestions on shady/cooler walls? Thanks!

The guidebook's area maps are north (top of page) to south (bottom). So it is fairly easy to figure out with the guide. In summer months it is often better to go from west to east face later in the day because the angle of the sun. Check out all of the north west facing walls in PMRP around What About Bob?

Bronaugh Wall, Midnight Surf, Lode, Purgatory, all the north-facing crags in PMRP like the Amarillo Sunset area. Although "Shady Grove" has a great name and is shady, I've always found it to be kind of manky and humid, for some reason.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
