Hikers can lace up their shoes once again, because the Grouse Grind opens today.
But North Shore Search and Rescue Team Leader Tim Jones warns you should work up to such an intense climb.
"We really recommend people work gradually into doing the Grind by doing less strenuous type hikes before doing the Grind," says Jones.
He also recommends wearing proper footwear and carrying a fully charged cell phone.
The trail is open daily at 6:15 am.
