Not more than 1\/2 a mile down into The Canyon during our last visit to the North Rim<\/a>, someone announced an epic adventure idea.\u00a0\u00a0I can\u2019t remember who exactly started the idea, but by the time we were 1 mile down on our hike that day, the idea was finalized into a plan.\u00a0\u00a0At the rate we were pushing, ticking off one huge hike a weekend in preparation for Mt.
