Accessibility notes for The Wave.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 4:45 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=3, views=4
Bottom line: Test new gear before the trip.
Trust your prep.
