Welsh 3000s
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Welsh 3,000s are the mountains of Wales over 3,000 feet high (914.4 m). They are also known as the Fourteen Peaks, even though there may be fifteen of them by some counts.

[edit] The mountains
All of the peaks are part of one of three adjacent mountain groups in northern Snowdonia, and are as follows:
[edit] Snowdon Massif
- Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m)
- Garnedd Ugain / Crib y Ddysgl (1,065 m)
- Crib Goch (923 m)
[edit] Glyderau
- Elidir Fawr (924 m)
- Y Garn (947 m)
- Glyder Fawr (999 m)
- Glyder Fach (994 m)
- Tryfan (915 m)
[edit] Carneddau
- Pen yr Ole Wen (978 m)
- Carnedd Dafydd (1,044 m)
- Carnedd Llewelyn (1,064 m)
- Yr Elen (962 m)
- Foel Grach (976 m)
- Garnedd Uchaf (926 m)
- Foel-fras (942 m)
Garnedd Uchaf is not always included, as it has the least relative height, being little more than a bump on the ridge. However, the tough Welsh 3000s challenge (all 15 in 24 hours) includes it.
