Grouse Grind

2800 feet up over a distance of 2 miles.
If that means anything to you, maybe you will understand why I feel so much pride at completing the Grouse Grind. Known as "Mother Nature's Stairmaster", the Grind is a local tradition; a rite-of-passage for true hardcore Vancouverites. It's a hiking trail that climbs straight up the side of Grouse Mountain. There are no real switchbacks, only vertical steps to the top. I was so proud of myself for making it, I even bought a t-shirt, and that's rare!

My time: 1 hr 10 minutes.

Could I do it again? I'm not sure.

Am I going to try to beat my time? Heck yes.
