Done The Wave a few times now. Here is the latest.
We went Wire Pass route w/ waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 4:45 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=5
Bottom line: Have a turnaround time.
Grateful for this one.
