Out the door at 5:10 AM. The Wave sunrise session.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 5:10 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Light was best in the first two hrs.
Ratings: 4 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Would do again in a heartbeat...
