The Welsh 3000s are the summits over 3,000 feet in Eryri (Snowdonia), spread across the Snowdon massif, the Glyderau and the Carneddau. The challenge is to stand on all of them, traditionally within 24 hours from the first summit to the last.
There is scrambling on Crib Goch and Tryfan, two big descents and re-ascents between the ranges, and a long finish over the Carneddau. Many walkers take two or three days, which is the better way to see it. Tick the summits off below as you climb them.
