Yesterday, Steve and I decided to challenge ourselves to the Grouse Grind climb in North Vancouver. Having never done this climb, we were well aware of what we were getting ourselves into. The 2800 foot vertical climb was more challenging than we had anticipated, especially since we decided to both carry heavy backpacks up the trail full of camera gear!

Once at the top, the struggles were well worth the effort as the views were breath-taking and the sense of accomplishment was high. Tired and sweaty, we vowed to replace every calorie that we just burnt with an amazing plate of nachos and beer!
