Safety considerations for The Wave: We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:00 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Key considerations: Move over for faster hikers. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5 scenery 5/5. Grateful for this one.
