Gear that made the difference on Colorado River Grand Canyon:
We went Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek full trip starting at 6:00 AM. Rain events rare but dramatic when they hit. Navigation straightforward w/ river maps.
Gear that worked: Compass, Wind shell, Watch w/ altimeter.
Full river camping setup essential.
