Done The Wave a few times now. Here is the latest. We went Wire Pass route w/ waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 4:45 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry. TLDR: Physical map as backup. Still thinking ~ this one.
