The Wave was my first serious permit and it was amazing.
We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:35 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5.
Plan accordingly.
