Just did it for second time. Did it Friday 1:24. Hated it so much I decided to buy a season pass on the way down. Typing this waiting for the gondola, 1:21. Damn my time sucks compared to you guys, but, I will demolish my time. Hoping for sub 70 minutes.

Man, I miss doing the Grouse Grind. Haven't gone since I finished school up at Capilano University (was still just a college back then)... so twelve years now. Used to go every couple days after class and managed to finally hit a best of 41:xx.
Now I'm pretty sure I'll be at the one and a half hour mark.  | |

Does anyone get lower back pain/strain while doing the grind? I've been getting it, and i try to stay more upright most of the time, but it sitll hurts. Hurts a lot more when i'm leaning forward too. Any tips would help.

my back hurt the first grind, but I was using heavy hiking shoes.
I switched to lightweight running shoes and it feels much much better! 
they get super dirty tough lol
I hit a 48.53 this morning! pb!

Did my first trek up last week in over 2 years. Managed a 48:xx. At least better than my first attempt years back (2 hrs+)...
Hopefully with some training I will get it down to 40 mins or so.
