New to the area, don't have a guidebook with sun positions. Any crag that gets good sun (different times of day?) that you would recommend?

Plotinus Wall

Ninja edit: MP will let you show sun positions on the map so you can at least see which ones are on the right side of the creek.

Wall of Winter Warmth (near Plotinus), Bitty Buttress, Happy Hour, the Dome, Animal World, Practice Rock all get plentiful sun in the winter.

The challenge with BC is that a lot of the sunny crags can also get quite windy.

The Blob and Security risk are fully in the sun.  (But they close Feb 1st for Eagle nesting.

The Bihedral (Upper) is my favorite winter spot for easy climbing. Most routes are 5.10 and under with a few harder routes scattered. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
