Here is what worked (and what did not) on The Wave.
We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 4:45 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Gear that worked: Soft flasks, Filter, Tablets.
Sun gloves and a wide hat mattered more than anything else.
Ratings: 4 overall, 5 difficulty, 4 scenery.
Still thinking ~ this one.
