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 2010: 2nd-4th July
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.
