I’m sure Sebastian Albrecht can do it – Why?
Because he has the record of 13 times in one day – he did that last year.
Why does he does this? Well, in his words…
I’ll be attempting to ascend the Grouse Grind a record 14x in a single day on June 23rd, 2010 (plus, raise $15,000 for charity). That’s 14x up a 2.9 km trail with 853 m elevation gain and an average grade of approximately 30%. If successful, I will have climbed 40.6 km and ascended 11.9 km in elevation in approximately 16 hours.
Those that know me know that I don’t need a reason to do something like this, other than the challenge. However, I happen to have a fantastic motivation. I am attempting the record in order to raise funds and awareness for the RLP Shelter Foundation (in support of women’s shelters and violence prevention programs).
