Astro Dog in the Black Canyon. Comes into shade around 11:00 AM so start your raps (11total) at 8:30. Leave water at halfway ledge. Climb fast!

I've done the South Face of the Column in August and lived to tell about it, but I second the East Face and Half Dome recommendations. One word of warning, though: Even though the East Face of the Column only gets sun in the morning, it can get awfully hot. I failed on the North Buttress of Middle Cathedral in July of 1974 for the same reason. Not a lot of sun, but a lot of heat.
