Summit all of Wales' 3000' Mountains,
all within the stunning vistas of the Snowdonia National Park.
These awesome, yet highly contrasting, peaks offer the hill-walker a
fantastic challenge weekend of varied exhilaration.
Transport is included for all three days to and from
the mountains from a convenient pick up point.
Friday - We start our
challenge weekend on the mountain range of the Carneddau.
We summit 7 mountains, and cover 21km, including Carnedd
Llewelyn (3484'/1064m) and Pen yr Ole Wen (3210'/978m).
This is the longest day but takes in the quiet wilderness of
these most northern summits
Saturday - A 15km trek
over the giant granite and rugged peaks of the Glyders. 5
summits, including Tryfan (3010'/915m) and Glyder Fawr
(3279'/999m), are today's challenge. The
Glyders' northern faces, towering above Ogwen valley, are bold
with magnificent formed buttresses and deeply gouged cwms, many
containing delightful tarns.
Sunday -
A fantastic finale to the long weekend.
The Soaring heights of the Snowdon Massif is the aim for today's
3000' mountains. The knife like arête of Crib Goch
(3023'/924m) is the first leading on to Carnedd Ugain (3493'/1065m)
with a grand finale on the highest of all 15 summits (and the
highest peak south of the Scottish border), Snowdon (3560'/1085m).
