Light conditions on The Wave: We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 5:10 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry. Golden hour delivered. Ratings: 5 overall, 3 difficulty, 4 scenery. Already planning the next one.
