The History
The earliest known traverse of all fourteen peaks dates back to 1919 when Eustace Thomas led a Rucksack Club group. Thomas Firbank did much to capture the imagination of the wider public with his book I bought a mountain published in 1940.

The Concept
The summits of the three thousand feet mountains of Wales can be visited in a single magnificent journey. Fit and experienced mountain walkers can achieve the full traverse in a very tough but highly memorable and rewarding day.
The Database
The Snowdonia Society is building a public database of all known traverses of the fourteen three thousand feet peaks. You are welcome to search the database or to certify the details of a traverse known to you.
The Record
In 1988 Kylie was a 19 year old in Neighbours and Colin Donnelly ran the 14 peaks in 4hrs 19minutes. Kylie is still going strong and so is Colin's amazing record time. Angela Carson has held the women's record of 5hrs 28 since 1989.
