Mobility considerations on the wave.
We went wire pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:25 am. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5.
The trail rewards the patient.
