Gear that made the difference on The Wave: We went Wire Pass route w/ waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:10 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines. Gear that worked: Hiking boots, Headlamp, Lighter. Light gaiters helped keep sand out during the hike out. Grateful for this one.
