July climbing

Hello,
The only vacations I have this year are at the end of July. I was wondering how hot the temperature is and if it is possible to climb in the shade in the morning/all day if selecting the crag accordingly... ex: Would I get soaking wet just belaying because it is too hot, even in the shade?
Thanks for info

It gets pretty gross but definitely still climbable. In my opinion.

Climbable for gumby kids from Ohio and old farts with life-sucking jobs in Lexington.

i missed the gay porn post so i'm probably overcompensating now, but this short thread is remarkable for creating agreement between me, dustonian, and c2c.

I'm going to disagree, just for the sake of argument. The red cannot be climbed during the summer, there is a patrol of gumbos that take all of your gear and throw it into near by streams.
