Peaks Challenge

 


Unfortunately it will not be possible to run this event in 2012. We are hopeful that we can reinstate it in 2013.  If you are interested in taking part then please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more.


The 15 Peaks Challenge is a route of 32 miles, from the foothills of Snowdon to Foel Fras, including some 14,000ft of ascent and fifteen summits. To complete the route within 24 hours walking requires an early start and lots of stamina.

Dates for 2012: Unfortunately it will not be possible to run this event in 2012. We are hopeful that we can reinstate it in 2013.

The 15 peaks challenge is not for the faint hearted ! Many people have climbed Snowdon, Sca Fell Pike and Ben Nevis within a 24 hour period, however this usually entails substantial rest (in the back of vans/cars/minibuses etc...) and easy direct routes to the summits. Whatever way you decide to do it, the 15 peaks challenge will require a walk of some 30 miles and over 14,000 feet of ascent and descent. It is likely that a traverse of Crib Goch will be required, a grade 1 scramble at the best of conditions. The 15 peaks challenge is a demanding day out in the mountains and will test the stamina of the very fittest walkers and climbers.
