Test your limits with the Welsh 3000s Challenge!
The Welsh 3000s is a tough mountain challenge, where you’ll climb the 15 peaks over 3000ft in Wales in under 24hrs! Geographically, these fall within three stunning mountain ranges; The Snowdon Massif, The Glyders and Carneddau.
During the 24hrs of walking, you’ll be ascending and descending approximately 8,000m and walking 50km (30 miles), with a large part of this taking place in darkness and over rough terrain. A very good level of fitness and determination is essential, as this epic route will stretch your physical and mental limits.
We specialise in running our mountain challenges as small group events to ensure a strong camaraderie within the challenge team. Our small instructor to client ratios guarantee you a highly personal experience – our expert guides will know you by name and support you on every step of the journey!
This monumental mountain challenge is not to be underestimated, but the sense of achievement and satisfaction you’ll gain from the adventure is undeniable.
