Kit breakdown from The Wave: We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 4:45 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines. Gear that worked: Buff, Rain jacket. Sun gloves and a wide hat mattered more than anything else. Just show up ready.
