Welsh 3000s
The 14 Peaks / The 15 Peaks
More extreme than the National Three Peaks Challenge, the Welsh 3000s involves climbing
all mountains in Wales over 3000 feet. Given the difficulty of this Challenge and
the lower popularity that other challenges, there is no official set time. Typically
most would attempt the Welsh 3000s Challenge in twenty-four hours, while experienced
climbers should set themselves twelve hours.
