Conditions played out exactly as forecast on the wave.
We went main wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 5:10 am. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 5/5.
Tldr: start earlier than you think.
Days like this are why i hike.
