The Wesh 3000 Challenge traverses all 15 of the peaks in Wales topping 3000 feet of altitude in a 3-day circuit.

The round of the 15 peaks begins below Aber Falls from where we climb to our first peak, Foel Fras at 3090ft. We then follow the ridge over Garnedd Uchaf (3038ft.) and Foel Grach (3202ft.), to Carnedd Llewelyn at 3491ft. Here a detour is required to take in Yr Elen (3156ft.) before returning to the ridge and heading to Carnedd Dafydd at 3425ft. The last peak on today's schedule is Pen yr Ole Wen (3209ft.) from where a steep descent brings us into the Ogwen Valley.

The second day of the round begins where we left off beside Lynn Ogwen. The first peak today is Tryfan. This peak just about makes the grade in terms of altitude being a mere 3002ft., but gives one of the best ascents in the region. From the summit we tackle the Bristly Ridge requiring some easy scrambling to connect with Glyder Fach (3261ft.). An excellent broad ridge takes us now to Glyder Fawr (3277ft.) and then on to Y Garn at 3107ft. The final summit today is the outlier Elidir Fawr (3028ft.) from where we descend to Nant Peris.

The final day of the round of the 15 peaks is easier and shorter than the first two, though it reaches the highest point in Wales and gives arguably the most spectacular route in the country from Crib Goch (3028ft.) along the 'Crib Goch - Crib y Ddysgl ridge to our penultimate peak, Garnedd Ugain at 3494ft. We complete the round of the fifteen 3000 foot peaks of Wales on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) at 3560ft.
