Sedona Shade

Hey-o! I tried searching the forums for any tips on this but, alas, came up empty-handed. My girlfriend and I are going to be heading down to Sedona within the coming week and were hoping to do some climbing without getting too scorched. I was just curious if anyone had any beta on shady routes worth getting on. From what I heard there isn't too much shade to be had - that you have to climb either in the morning or wait until late afternoon. Just wanted to see if this was actually the case or not. Thanks!

Three Amigo's in Boynton canyon is a very rad 3 pitch 5.9. It would be mostly in the shade but you have the hike in.

Thanks Slacker - I'll look into it!

Not sure what type of routes you're looking to get on. The Doctor's Office up in Oak Creek Canyon is mostly shaded and the area itself is placed well where a "swamp cooler effect" tends to happen. All the routes are sport, mostly above 5.10-11 if I remember right.

Have fun!
