If you are asking, it is probably too hot...

it all depends on how much sand you have up in it. you can climb any month of the year in the Red. climbing in the summer requires getting up early, climbing in the shade, swimming in the afternoon, and climbing a few grades lower than you're used to (although I've climbed at my limit in mid summer).

depends on weather or not you like sweatting from the time you wake up until the time you pack your stuff up and drive home

That's a fun Freudian misspelling right there.

It's only too hot if the sun is on your shoes. That black rubber can fry an egg.

I thought it was an intentional play on words.... too much credit?

Perfect weather last 2 days! That said, it can be hit or miss.
