Took my time on The Wave. No rush.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 6:00 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=5, views=4
The boring prep stuff matters.
