Welsh 3000 Trip Overview
Done one peak? Three Peaks? If that wasn’t enough, perhaps you’d like to try SIXTEEN?
The Welsh 3000 is a fully fledged three mammoth expedition from start to finish, and not for the faint of heart!
The challenge involves climbing every Welsh peak over 3000 feet, to the top, in the space of 24 hours. This involves no transport, and no time at all for sleep.
The peaks you’ll be climbing are as follows:
- Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa – 3560 feet
- Garnedd Ugain/Crib y Ddysgl – 3494 feet
- Crib Goch – 3028 feet
- Elidir Fawr – 3031 feet
- Y Garn – 3106 feet
- Glyder Fawr – 3284 feet
- Castell y Gwynt – 3188 feet
- Glyder Fach – 3261 feet
- Tryfan – 3011 feet
- Pen yr Ole Wen – 3208 feet
- Carnedd Dafydd – 3425 feet
- Carnedd Llewelyn – 3490 feet
- Yr Elen – 3156 feet
- Foel Grach – 3202 feet
- Carnedd Gwenllian – 3038 feet
- Foel-fras – 3090 feet
This is a serious and intensive challenge, and, in this time frame, is only really suitable for experienced hikers and mountain walkers. Having said that, Mammoth Explorations is about challenge, and wanting to challenge yourself, so if you have previous experience, we’ll do our best to make sure that we can top that up suitably to meet the physical requirements of your journey up Snowdon, Glyderau, and Carneddau.
