Welsh 15 Peaks & Toubkal

Congratulations to both teams who last weekend completed some of our toughest challenges, We had a group of 10 who celebrated a stag weekend by climbing Mt Toubkal, which was our first Toubkal ascent of the summer, the trek went like clock work with the only real challenging section for the group was negotiating some of the passes which still had some snow remaining and of cause the lack of air when summiting Mt Toubkal.
It was great to get the Adventurous Ewe Toubkal Team back together for what now is the beginning of our summer season.

The same weekend we also had some clients return to book with Adventurous Ewe after completing the 3 Peaks last year and looking to complete the Welsh 15 Peaks 24hr Challenge in 2012. It's was and is a very tough challenge, taking most groups by surprise and just how tough a challenge it really is, Jason and the team led by Edwin who is our Welsh 15 Peaks Challenge Leader, Edwin has completed this gulling challenge in under 6.5hrs.

The team set off at 04.00am making there way to the summit if Snowdon to beging the challenge, the Snowdon massif went well then began the big climb up Elidir Fawr and onto the Glyders before finally finishing the challenge on the Caerneddau in 21hrs.

It was a great a start to the summer and we are now looking for a summer of fantastic challenges ahead.
