Grouse Grind

Last Friday, after work, I went to Mt. Grouse to trek with my friends. According to the website, its trail length is about 3 km, its summit is 1227 meters and its total amount of stairs is are 2830. This was actually the 2nd time for me. Compared to Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, which I have hiked up years ago, the total trail length is shorter, but each stair height is higher so it's pretty steep in conclusion.

My friends had thought it would be like had been hiking, but it wasn't actually easy stuff that like you might think, something that you could do while chatting, taking photos. It was training. You can't even breathe well after a half of the trail is passed. What you do would be are doing is just hoping the rail will end as soon as possible.

As a result, I accomplished managed to reach the top within 1 hour, while my friends took 1h 40min. It was a nice workout. Next time, I'd like to challenge myself by making it to the top taking within 50 min to get the top.
