The Wave reminded me why I do this.
We took Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns with 4 people. Started around 4:45 AM when wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. The trail route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. No refill options at all, which drove our turnaround time.
Short version: Test new gear before the trip.
10/10 would recommend.
