The Wave prep notes:
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.
Key considerations: Bring one extra liter.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5
The boring prep stuff matters.
Tips
- Wave at other hikers.
- Slow down on muddy sections.
- Bring one extra liter.
