As you most likely already know, it's a big right facing book/dihedral. So, prollie in the shade most of the day, or certainly by 11am/12 noon (perhaps much sooner)! Sorry I wasn't much help!

it should be in the shade
most exclusively
and when it's not,
the angle of the sun
is so low it shouldn't cook no resolve.

not trying to spray (I'm a nobody on here anyways)... I did a google search (and searched MP) but couldn't find info. The guidebook said "early afternoon" but I was hoping to get a clearer idea.

i'm sorry if you are offended

EDIT : got some useful info from a fellow ST poster to use google earth, appears to go into the shade at 3pm.
