Great web site Staci. Mental 60% physical 40% if you think you can you will ! Do not compete against time ! Time will take care of itself ! I will be on the Trail Head north and south rim with vehicle to cart your tired, sore, aching bodies to the Shower and Hot Tub at the motel or laundry mat.
P.S. you will stink and all the bad stuff you put in your bodies will be reeking out on the surface !
Just got off the computer weather on top of GC for SAT High 81 night time 45 feels like 38 with 30% change of rain thunderstorms. Gust at night up to 20 MPH. YOU will be hiking on Bright Angle trail coming out at night Possibly Lightening at night !!!!! Temp increases 4 degree for ever 1000 feet drop of elevation. At Phatom Ranch should be 100 degrees probably by 1.00 pm. That should be incentive for early start. Daylight at 6:18 am and Sunset @ 6.30 pm. Pack,drink,eat and dress accordingly. L&L Tom
p.s. Remember rim to rim is a great achievement and I will be there on the north rim to give any hiker a ride back to the south rim, if needed. One last thought, grab some duct tape and make a couple wraps on the belt of your pack just in case a hot blister pops up . You can tape over them for added protection and pain relief!!!!
