Twisted Peaks Trip Overview
As significant a challenge as the Three Peaks poses, at Mammoth Exploration, we like to be able to offer something a little bit more. There’s climbing a mountain, and there’s climbing a mountain Mammoth style.
The regular Three Peaks challenge is three mountains, packed into a 24 hour period. Starting in Scotland, and finishing up in Wales, you’ll be climbing all three of the UK’s tallest mountains, one straight after the other. Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands standing at 1345 metres, Scafell Pike in Cumbria standing at 978 metres, and finally Mount Snowdon in Wales, at 1085 metres. But the Twisted Peaks is different, and the extra spice on this three mammoth trip, is that you’ll be carrying kettlebells up the mountains!
Make no mistake, this is an extremely difficult and physically taxing expedition. The Three Peaks challenge is 24 hours without proper sleep, and around 14 hours of walking. If you sign up for the Twisted Peaks, there’s added weight to consider. But we don’t away from a challenge here at Mammoth Exploration, and we’d love to be able to share that experience with you.
It’s likely that you’ll need to undertake one of our bespoke training programmes to head off on this microadventure, but by organising a consultation with our mountain guides and high level coaches at The Commando Temple, we can establish your base rate of fitness, and exactly how much work needs to be done to get you ready for the Twisted Peaks challenge. In some cases this could be a relatively small amount of sessions, whereas in others, it;ll take place over the course of a few months. We make both the training and the trip fit in with your free time, and your personal requirements, all you need to do is fill your details in our contact form to get started.
