[tehmojo]

Damn this thing is straight up torture! Its my first time doing it and even though it was torture going up th ewhole way, it felt so good after being at the top.

First time: 1:27

Post your times

My first time was about 2+ hrs.. I thought it was like an uphill walk.

My 2nd time was about 1 hr 30 mins..

Both times in the summer...

Were you really tired?

I thought it was be a good idea to go when it was raining for my first time so that way it wouldn't be hot.

I slipped so many times on the rocks it just wasn't worth it haha.

I didn't expect something like this....

I thought it'd be like an long uphill walk...

But a bit of everything..... And it kinda got hot about 10 30 am-11 am.....

I was stopping every 2-3 mins.

Its all about pacing yourself. The first time I think the rain and me going too fast in the beginning was slowing me down.

Did it again today with a good pace and shaved off 12 minutes to be at 1:15.

Most people who have never been to the Grouse Grind think its easy, but once they do it, they wish they never tried it.
