Local perspective on The Wave. We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 5:35 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4 Would do again in a heartbeat.
