My friend Dee had been going to the Grouse Grind pretty consistently over the last months… I sort of dismissed its difficulty. It’s basically a quasi-hike on Grouse Moutain. Some parts surprised, it’s definitely not some shit you can do casually, and I seen some dizzy broad scaling it in flip-flops and an LV clutch haha. Average time is like 90 mins – 120 mins, I took like 68 minutes, but definitely room for improvement.
Length: 2.9 kilometres (1.8 miles)
Elevation Gain: 853 metres (2,800 feet)
– Base: 274 metres above sea level (900 feet)
– Summit: 1,127 metres (3,700 feet)
– Total Stairs: 2,830
At the top of the hill there’s some random tourist shit, like a grizzly bear habitat (they sure weren’t out to play), big-ass wooden carvings and lumberjack demos. The ride down was on a massive gondola ride… a sort of saddening sight but it was pretty murky/hazy.
Saw this sick little number on the way home…
How does he drive this thing legally???
