Running The Wave. Here is the beta. We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 5:35 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines. TLDR: Be friendly at the trailhead. Still thinking about this one.
