i can't find anything online to confirm this. do you have a link? does the $10 include a down pass on the gondola?
EDIT: thought the $10 charge was to actually climb the grind. gondola cost increasing from $5 to $10. sucks, but i'm an out-of-towner and don't get to do the grind much more than 2-3 times a year anyway. i'll pay it.

The Grind... haha! I'll stick to my overnight hikes. Sure it sucks hiking with 40+lbs on your back, but it's worth it when you see the views.

An increase of 100% is absurd. They are trying to justify it by maintenance costs over the years when really the GG has been a HUGE cash cow for the mountain. tourists, and locals head up the trail, spend x amount of money in the lodge buying drinks, snacks, food, and souvenirs. THEN pay another 5$ to take the tram down. now anyone going up the GG is going to have to deal with hoards of people coming down it. good job.  | |
