We conquered the Grouse Grind today and we are all still smiling. I am very proud of all who hiked, and you should be proud of yourself as well. The weather was just perfect! Leave a comment about your experience hiking today. Who did you hike with? Did you beat your time from the beginning of the year? If you have a story or event to share, write about it here!

I hiked up with Brooke form div 4, and I didn't beat my time:( Hiking was fun but I was really tired, and I didn't feel well.

I think I can summarize my experience with three words: tiring and sweaty. I hiked with different people at different times, I hiked alone at first, then with Sugerbear, Fluffeykittens, and Unicorn Person, then alone, then with people from different classes: Gemma and someone who I forget their name (I'm sorry!). Then I hiked alone again, then with Sugerbear, Fluffeykittens, and Unicorn Person for a bit again, then I hiked with Gemma and the other girl, and then just Gemma, then I was at the top. I probably hiked with other people a well, but I forget who. I did beat my time! Instead of 1 hour, and 52 minutes, I made it 1 hour, and 38 minutes. A story is, I was constantly hoping I was near the top, but I wasn't. I talked with some people, sweated a lot. I was near the top, and slipped a few times, and even hurt my ankle, and I was also bawling when I was at the top (not because I was hurt, but because I was tired, emotionally drained, and I just want to lie in bed and read.).

Hi! I just got home from a ball hockey game! Today was AWESOME!!! First I started to hike with Aquatree and Shadowdogs, then Shadowdogs started sprinting so Aquatree and I started hiking. Then Aquatree slowed down and I didn't notice, so I kept on hiking. Then I met up with Nik (My friend from Mrs. Middleton's class) and then he started to go faster then me. Then I met up with Shadowdogs, SuperPunnyGamer, and their friend Brandon. Then SuperPunnyGamer and I hiked up together for the last little bit till we got up there! My time from the beginning of the year was 1:38 and now it is 1:26, so I beat it by 12 minutes! Thats a big improvement for me! I don't really have a story because the story was really just who I hiked with! I had such a great time at grouse mountain and the best part about it was going back to North Vancouver because I was born there. Its just like travelling home for me! Well, see y'all tomorrow! Bye for now...

Today was fun but hard at the same time! I said I was going to hike with my friend Lola, but it never really happened I kept on hiking with different people on the way. Sadly, I did not beat my time from last time. My goal was to try to get up in an hour . That didn't go so well. I got up in 1 hour and 20 minutes. That's still good though. I think it was because it was so hot out it slowed me down a lot or it was I just took a lot of brakes. I don't have a story to tell because nothing much happened besides us being all tired while going up. Well see you guys tomorrow.

I went up the hike with Rachael ( from Mrs. Wilson class) and blubberjub. I beat my last time that was 1:20 and now it is 1:06. Paige Rachael and I have a tradition take a picture in a certain spot and in the right position and we did it this year. The lumber jack show was good. See you all tomorrow bye!

I hiked up the mountain with Superbanana and Rachael from Mrs.Wilsons! It was really fun. My best time is 59 minutes so I went down from last time beacuse I got an hour and five minutes this time. But I thought I would go down so I'm okay with it. I liked the lumberjack show and seeing the bears was cool! See everyone tomorrow, bye!

I mostly hiked up with unicornperson and fluffy kittens, but I also hiked up with other people to for some parts. I beat my time from the beggining of the year by about 11 minutes! So I am proud of myslef for that! At the top I really had fun watching the Lumber Jack Show with all my friends, because they were really entertaining and funny! Also, we had a great time in Dance infections car on the way there and back from the grouse grind. I had such a fun time today, I especially liked the top though, because it's so so pretty!

I hiked up with a couple of different people but I finished with EpicFaceManiac. I did not beat my time but I don't care I have 2 more try's, my first time was 1h 13min, but the time I got yesterday was 1h 26min. But I am still proud. I have a story but it is not related to the grouse grind. It is of how I am most likely going to get a tally today, I forgot to look for my book commercial sheet and find a book to do, so I am saying that I forgot to do my book commercial. I will take full responsibility for it and take the tally. See you all today.

I had a fun time hiking, I started to hike with aquatree and EpicFaceManiac but I went ahead and meet up with SuperPunnyGamer and B.H (from Mrs.Wilson's class). But most of the time I was hiking with EpicFaceManiac and SuperPunnyGamer. I beat my previous time by 1hr 29min (27minutes) 1hr 56min, I am so proud of myself. At the end my group and I all meet up and we all went to the lumberjack show, the bears, a edge and the bears shop tiki thing-a-mi-jig and of course a couple of pictures. See you all on Friday/Today. B-)

I hiked with Keira ( from the Wilsons) and Alexandar ( from the Ferrells) I beat my score by only a couple of minutes but I'm still very happy I did it and beat my time! My story is there was this girl and she had her phone in her back pocket and BAM! It fell out and was rolling down the hill two other people tried to get it but they couldn't get it then I grabbed for it once and didn't get it then the second time I got it!!! I felt really good after that!!!

Hi! I hiked with Hasrat! I did not beat my time but happy I made it. I almost died literally so here is the story I was hiking then I slipped and almost fell off the edge of the cliff. But held on the orange rope. I'm glad I am alive though.
