Description

Charity night time ascent of Snowdon by Llanberis path. Started out as group of 18 people between two leaders however due to leaders from other groups having to return down with drop outs the group became 29 between three leaders and then 26 between 2. Due to the darkness and poor visibility we kept the group as close together as possible but this became difficult as the difference in pace was significant. We held everyone together up to the summit and back down past the finger stone and then allowed the faster group members to move ahead counting them past. They were then checked in at the bottom of the hill. Quite a tricky shift.

Area : Snowdon Massif
