Grand Canyon Rim to River FKT attempt? Not quite, but moved well.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 4:45 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=5, views=5
Plan accordingly.
