Another The Wave in the books. We went Wire Pass route w/ waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:10 AM clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 4 scenery. Take what is useful.
