Cannot believe I finally did The Wave! We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 5:35 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. The boring prep stuff matters. Quick notes: - Have a turnaround time. - Move over for faster hikers...
