The Wave.
Route: Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds. Weather: Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier.. Trail: Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.. Water: No refill options at all, which drove our turnaround time.. Crowds: packed.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5
Grateful for this one.
Quick notes:
- Physical map as backup.
- Gaiters for scree.
- Test new gear before the trip.
