Sub-10lb kit on 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. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Gear that worked: Rain jacket, Trekking poles, Gloves.
Light gaiters helped keep sand out during the hike out.
Already planning the next one.
