Do The Grind Blind
September 10, 2017 | North Vancouver
On September 10, 2017, after several months of training and preparation, nine youth who were blind or partially sighted along with Blind Beginnings Founder Shawn Marsolais climbed 2,830 steps and ascended 853 vertical meters up Grouse Mountain. Vancouver hikers will immediately recognize this to the the infamous “Grouse Grind”, which has been lovingly dubbed “Nature’s Stairmaster” by the Lower Mainland hiking community for many years.
