Description

Led group of prostate cancer survivors on Snowdon via Maesgwm/Ranger path.
One participant developed lightheadedness followed by nausea then vomiting. This abated but was followed by intense quadracep cramps high up on the zigzags of the ranger path. Once Bwlch Glas was reached, this abated and 7/10 were able to summit. Coaching not required but pace management was needed to drive the day and also moderate the climbing sections to a manageable pace.

Area : Snowdon Massif

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "the busiest mountain in Britain". It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
