Grand canyon rim to river prep notes: we went north kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 6:50 am. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees. Key considerations: phone battery backup. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=3, views=5 10/10 would recommend.
