The Wave on a budget.
We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 4:45 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Ratings: 5 overall, 5 difficulty, 4 scenery.
TLDR: Test new gear before the trip.
Would do again in a heartbeat.
Quick notes:
- Test new gear before the trip.
- Be friendly at the trailhead.
- Extra socks change everything.
