Grand canyon rim to river: no sugarcoating.
We went north kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 5:10 am clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
Overall 5/5 difficulty 4/5 scenery 4/5.
Still thinking about this one.
