I was in that region last summer. Climbed at HCR twice with some friends of mine from Tulsa. A good spot, in my opinion.
The climbing is on two walls, one east - facing and one west - facing. Provided you rise at a reasonable hour, you can chase the shade effectively to climb all day without having the sun beating on you constantly. Some mid-day sun is unavoidable, but the climbs are all so close together that you can walk down the walls (more or less) and find a route that might be shaded due to its orientation.
In many parts of the canyon, trees grow close to the canyon walls, providing partial shade.
I'd recommend it if you are limiting your focus to this region, and you want to be able to climb for more than a day while staying in one spot. The people who run the ranch are quite nice, as well.
