[Attempting the Three Peaks Challenge]
[By John Highland]
Last September, a team of 12 of us, 10 climbers and two minibus drivers,
participated in the Three Peaks Challenge, which is well known for its
difficulty among climbers in Britain. The goal is to climb the highest
mountain in Scotland (Ben Nevis), in England (Scafell Pike), and in Wales
(Snowdon) within 24 hours, including approximately 10 hours of driving
between the mountains. To prepare for this, we trained on and off for
several months and planned the route carefully. Our challenge would start
at the foot of Ben Nevis and finish at the foot of Snowdon.
We began our first climb at six o'clock on a beautiful autumn morning.
Thanks to our training, we reached the summit in under three hours. On the
way down, however, I realised I had dropped my phone. Fortunately, I found
it with the help of the team, but we lost 15 minutes.
We reached our next destination, Scafell Pike, early that evening. After
six hours of rest in the minibus, we started our second climb full of
energy. As it got darker, though, we had to slow down. It took
four-and-a-half hours to complete Scafell Pike. Again, it took longer than
planned, and time was running out. However, because the traffic was light,
we were right on schedule when we started our final climb. Now we felt more
confident we could complete the challenge within the time limit.
Unfortunately, soon after we started the final climb, it began to rain
heavily and we had to slow down again. It was slippery and very difficult
to see ahead. At 4:30 am, we realised that we could no longer finish in 24
hours. Nevertheless, we were still determined to climb the final mountain.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and two members of the team decided to
return to the minibus. Exhausted and miserable, the rest of us were also
ready to go back down, but then the sky cleared, and we saw that we were
really close to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, we were no longer tired.
Even though we weren't successful with the time challenge, we were
successful with the climb challenge. We had done it. What a feeling that
was!
