Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks)
The Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks) is a guided traverse of all officially recognised 3000 ft peaks in Snowdonia completed as a continuous journey. The route includes summiting Snowdon, the exposed Crib Goch ridge, scrambling over the Glyders and Tryfan, and sections through the Carneddau range. The route may include additional nearby tops alongside the intended line.
The total distance is about 50 km with close to 4000 m of ascent. The organiser offers two formats: a 20 hour guided challenge and a 2 day guided option. The event dates listed are Saturday 24 July 2027 for the 20 hour option and Saturday 24 July 2027 to Sunday 25 July 2027 for the 2 day option. Entry fees are shown as £299 for the 20 hour challenge and £399 for the 2 day challenge, with a two instalment option available.
The route contains exposed scrambling and terrain requiring navigation skills; previous hill walking experience is recommended. The Crib Goch ridge is only attempted in good weather and can be avoided by participants who prefer an alternative line. Guiding is provided at a low staff to participant ratio, typically 1:4, by qualified Mountain Leaders and Mountaineering Instructors, with refuelling stops at three key locations, a supporting team, and return transport to the start.
