Light conditions on The Wave:
We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:10 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines.
Light was best in the first two hours.
Still thinking about this one...
