Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks)
Capel Curig, United Kingdom • 18-19 Jul 2026
Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks)
The Welsh 3000 Challenge guides participants over the officially recognised 3000 ft peaks in Snowdonia in a continuous route. The route covers about 50 km with roughly 4,000 m of ascent. Options are offered as a guided 20 hour challenge or spread over 2 to 3 days.
Participants climb all 14 named 3000 ft summits and the planned route may include adjacent summits. The route passes Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) and the Carneddau, and includes sections such as the knife edged Crib Goch ridge and scrambling on the Glyders and Tryfan. Crib Goch is only attempted in good weather and can be bypassed by an alternative line.
Guiding is provided by qualified Mountain Leaders and Mountaineering Instructors, with a low staff to participant ratio typically around 1:4. Support includes refuelling points with food and drink at three key locations, a support team that can assist participants who leave the route, different pace options, and transport back to the start.
Previous groups have completed the route in a single long day or over multiple days. Prior hill walking experience is recommended because of exposed and scrambling sections. Places are limited because of terrain and supervision requirements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
