30 miles, 13,000 feet
This is my favourite shorter challenge and I've done it six times now, both North to South and South to North. The record times are recorded peak to peak, but you have to get up to the first peak and off the last which adds considerable distance. My best time is 6 hours 35 minutes peak to peak, done solo in average weather, so I reckon I could do better, if not anything approaching the record time. The route takes in classic rocky ridges with a couple of testing descents and ends on the rolling grass of the Carneddau and a descent towards the sea. My last traverse was with my son Ben who was then 6 and did marvellously well to get round in about 18 hours start to finish.
