    Congratulations on your amazing hike! Four days after you did this hike I completed my first rim2rim at 66 years old :). It was my first hike of over 20 miles in my life and like you I'm very proud of myself for going through with it! I hiked down the South Kaibab and up the North Kaibab. I'm not gonna lie, the last 5 miles was tough and I too was hallucinating a little. Luckily my wife was there to drive us to our hotel in Kanab Utah an hour and a half away :).

    at 13:25 when you try to capture the solar eclipse, you can actually see the shape of the sun obstructed by the moon captured in the lens flare. The bright spot of blue shape that looks like a crescent moon just right of the main sun flare. So you kind of did! Great vid :)

      Yes I plan on doing south Kaibab to north next year! I did the detour to ribbon falls on my north rim to south rim hike last year, it was so beautiful. The only reason I didn’t do it this year was pure mileage. 50 miles already seemed like a lot to do, I didn’t want to add a detour. But I’ll definitely be visiting ribbon falls again next year when I do south to north!

If you can I’d recommend getting a 3L water bladder that you can fill up instead of the frozen water bottles, it will take up a lot less space and you can refill at the water taps (as long as they are on, another thing to check on before you go). I understand your worry with hiking in the dark, but if you have a good headlamp you’ll be fine. And most likely you won’t be alone!

I assume you were able to get your camping gear shuttled to Mather's campground or to the south rim lodge? I must have watched your video about a dozen times already as I am working on the logistics for 4 for this adventure. I'm planning late September early October. My wife and friend want to do the rim to rim to rim But they also want to take it all in visit the waterfall I'm hoping I could do the adventure within three to four days.

      Here is the link to my video where I talk about the logistics of doing rim to rim to rim. Yes I got my duffle bag shuttled across from north rim to south and back the next day. This adventure definitely takes a lot of planning! I have also done ribbon falls on a previous trip (th-cam.com/video/5olmTzZMgbs/w-d-xo.html). It's beautiful I highly recommend, it will only add a mile(ish) to your hike. As far as gear I packed as if I was going to camp on the south rim, I brought many of the items that I typically take backpacking. Tent, Sleeping Bag, pad, inflatable pillow, cook set + Fuel, extra food, electrolytes, power bank + cords, extra clothes + socks. I think that was pretty much it. If you're planning on backpacking it I could try to pack light. The more weight you carry the more difficult the elevation gain and loss will be.I also have videos where I pack for backpacking trips, that may be helpful to give you an ideal of my gear set up. (th-cam.com/video/u_pta4yTCoI/w-d-xo.html). I hope this was helpful! Good Luck on your trip!
