I've done it twice, and I really dont enjoy it. Its just like climbing up a never-ending staircase for me.

took me 55mins-120 mins... I am slow.

My cousins live like two blocks away from the grouse grind ...

Ive climbed it many times :

Walking a an alright pace you should be able to do it in 45 minutes or so.

Your first time, you're NOT going to be able to jog it.

Even when I was hiking, mountaineering and climbing all the time, and I was in peak physical condition, it was still extremely tough to even slow-jog it.

The best you're going to be able to do as a first-timer is to go at a quick walk. And I wouldn't even recommend that, you need to get used to the trail first.

shorerider took like 37 mins his first time, now his best is like 34 and he runs up it

my fastest was 59 mins, i'm not in shape but i do exercise regularly

I did it once after a party on like an hour of sleep. I don't know how long it took because I didn't bother timing myself as the only thing on my mind was how to successfully end my life by throwing myself off the mountain.
Worst idea ever.
Make sure you are well rested. Please.
