The light on Grand Canyon that morning was something else.
6:25 AM start with 4 people the North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out route felt solid for conditions. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple.
Ratings: 4 overall, 5 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Trust your prep.
