Led a group of 2 on The Wave. Here is how it went. We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 6:00 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Short version: Bring the rain layer even if clear. Worth every bit of effort.
