Warm, late-fall or early-winter afternoons are the best times for climbing on Shinobe. When the sun is strong and the air is still, it is simply a pleasure to be out there on the wall. Of course, it is mostly the girls on the rock, and we aren't really climbing but top-roping.
I serve as the belay slave until the sun drops behind the opposite ridge and the cross valley winds begin. It immediately becomes too cold for standing around: Time to clean-up and scramble down to the truck.
