After I Had Climbed Grouse Mountain in Vancouver in 54 Mins & Recovered a Bit.
The top of Grouse, overlooking backdrop of the beautiful Vancouver area.... that is the city behind me.
I had just hiked the mountain before this was taken, and that 54 mins. is an epic time to hike that in. I trained to get er done so after I would feel less pain and challenge myself.
-- If you search "Grouse Grind', you will see what I mean- it is legendary.
I used it as a cardio workout, and was in really good shape. It was probably the toughest thing cardio wise I may have done ever.
Most people take ~4 hours to walk this thing, but I gave er'.

This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

I didn't know you even had a Twitter account. A very interesting place to be. I used to be a Twitter addict.
I am addicted to nothing, I am fortunate that way.

Wow, great! You should be proud of yourself! Once I've climbed the mountain in the Carpathians which is 1110 m, but it took so much time, not your 54 minutes)) I like the feeling while reaching the top. It's like when you set a goal in your life and do your best to achieve it in the nearest time. For me it is the same. And at the top you begin to be proud of what you've done. I think you understand what I'm talking about. Well done!!))
I do understand!
TY for the good comments today and congrats on getting on top of that mountain, good for you!
Climbing up the mountain is not easy, only people who have a big physical that menyanggupinya. you are one of them. success for you.
Thanks man.
From that view, you will definitely feel top of the world. I had to google "Grouse Mountain" to find out how high it is, the height is quite amazing.
It is true, it was amazing up there, and good on you for looking that up.
-- it's pretty tall LOL
I'm speaking from experience lol.. I once climbed a mountain so high (not as high as that though). I thought I wouldn't make it down. It's all for fun anyways.
I will be honest.
I lived at the foot of this mountain for awhile just before I head north to mountains twice as high in Whistler about an hour N. of here.
Locals told me more than once, people die climbing this hill in all seasons, on Grouse and they have to send out rescue crews and helicopters regularly to find them, pull them out --- sometimes not alive.
Climbing some of these mountains is quite risky. But sometimes I wonder "what is like without some risks?" After thinking about that I perform the action on my mind. Hope you had fun there?
Beautiful there!
It's yuge.
My comments in the replies about people not making it out alive, stand true.
Wow that is insane. Brave journey!
@barrydutton
You an amazing fellow ...such climb in 50min is a feat worthy of Guinness book! How did you do it...what's the secret and any after leg cramps or body pains ..however you look great ...keep it up💪👏
I was always in good shape but I rode hills extra hard on my bike leading up to this and trained leg and core specific for a month in a gym for 2 weeks prior as well.
Haaa...good one...we need a documentary to show Guinness book that steemians are taking over the world...💪🙌
Very beautiful 😊😚😎💪🙈
I took the cable car when I visited Vancouver, I do like that the path up was made by just people, it wasn't like an official thing
There are 2-3 paths up the mountain.
After you hike it all the way up, LMK then how official you think it is LOL.
-- it does not matter who put the paths in, it's pretty awesome.
