Three Peaks Challenge
Welcome to the home of the Three Peaks Challenge
The National Three Peaks Challenge is a well known phrase amongst
the more adventurous. This challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains
in the UK within 24 hours.
Despite it's growing popularity, no one should under estimate the difficulty
of any of the challenges detailed on this website. It is very easy to get lost,
particularly on the National Three Peaks and Welsh 3000s, and particularly when
mountains need to be climbed in the dark or in poor weather.

The National Three Peaks Challenge is not an organised event - you can do it whenever
you like. Most people organise the challenge themselves, getting together a
group, arranging transport and accommodation, and ensuring all those taking part
have an appropriate level of fitness and suitable equipment.
