Kit breakdown from Grand Canyon Rim to River:
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 4:45 AM. Clear skies gave us big temp swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Gear that worked: Electrolytes, Gaiters.
A light puffy was enough for dawn starts on the rim.
Days like this are why I hike.
