Hello,

I am heading to the deseret this weekend, and although the weather is gonna be great my partners are a bit "soft". Anyway, can anyone recommend some desert towers that are south facing or in the sun most of the day? I know that Primrose Dihedrals and the Kor/Ingalls Route are pretty good, but any others? Obscure is fine, hard is fine. Just looking for ideas.

thanks

PS. How about Honeymoon Chimney- anybody know if it somewhat in the sun.

thanks for your help

The first two pitches of Honeymoon chimney aren't sunny, though you'll be working so hard on the first pitch that you probably won't notice the cold.

Zenyatta Entrada in arches gets a lot of sun.
