how about some of the south facing stuff in oak creek canyon, e.g. Beulah's Book or Johnny Vegas. If you are feeling spicy you can do black orpheus which only has one 10a move that is protected by two bolts.

may well be too hot for this stuff.....it was scorching this week- it was up to 90 in town! i think its meant to be cooling off soon, but it'll still be a bit warm by then.
ginger cracks is really good, but not in the sun....its also not easy 5.9 (well....it depends on your definition of easy!)

thanks for the info :-)
according to the falcon guide ginger cracks has one 5.9 pitch (4th), the rest is 5.8 and below. is that true or would you rate more pitches 5.9ish???
