This is the photo journal of my life and travels through Canada and wherever else I may venture.
Grouse Grind
All smiles at the bottom and ready for the hike up the mountain. Little did we know... (that's Nicole's neighbour Megan on the right)
Apparently this is a killer climb!
Feeling fine so far... 2 minutes in.
Only 1/4 the way!!! That was a sad moment...
...because we were wrecked already. Ugh!!
1/2 way. Holy S@#$!!!!
Isaiah looked as wasted as I felt.
Just look at that damn hill!!! Thank god for the steps... sort of.
It just kept getting steeper too.
There were nice views on the way up though (when we found a break in the trees that is)
Isaiah and I climbed together. Nicole and Chad were ahead of us and Megan was WAY behind :)
Finally at the top an hour and 20 mins later!! Who's F!@#$%G idea was this hell-climb?
A sentiment shared by all I assure you! But very satisfying.
Great views of Vancouver. (The city is to the left out of shot)
There were sculptures littered all over the top.
A deer walked out right in front of us. Some stupid girl tried to walk up to touch it until we stopped her. It would have kicked her head clean off. Her mother just let her go for it too. Could have been worth it for the life lesson I guess :)
A view of the city as we came back down on the gondola. Van's a prety big city. About the size of Sydney with the population of Brisbane. Plenty of breathing space thank god.
It was a damn steep mountain to climb. Glad we took the gondola back down :)
