I really need to make an effort to watch more KZbin videos! This looked like such a great and rewarding challenge, something for me to do in the future perhaps 🙌

[@GracesAdventures]

Appreciate you watching and sharing Ella 💛

[@celticwanderer6407]

Well done what a fantastic challenge to do. Welsh are such strong people great video grace 5*

[@GracesAdventures]

Thank you! I’m not Welsh but do love the Welsh mountains 🙌🏻⛰

[@theDaveBaxter]

I have tried to get to the top of Snowdon twice now and not made. Gonna try again this year I hope. Am 51 and not very fit but determined to do it.

[@Sam_Bellwood]

Bro, you can do it!

[@primus7776]

Lovely video. Did Cader and Snowdon with daughter last month or so. Always good to revisit. Sorry you missed the views, but great to see this.

[@adamjenkins4985]

I did it solo about 3 years ago. Loved every minute and definitely something to tick off your bucket list

[@GarethDanks]

wow!! good on you!! ive done all three many times, never in one day tho!! hellll no! mega achievement! i have to say that cadir is always the hardest climb.. and due to very welsh weather, I've only managed to summit it once so be glad you could.. your next Snowdonia adventure needs to be the horsehoe via crib goch! it's incredible!! the best way up Snowdon by far! Great vid again Grace :-)

[@nick2523147657]

Came here to say the same! It's by far the most fun route

[@johnlewis4301]

Phenomenal achievement. 👏👏 I’ve done snowdon and pen y fan in the last week and your up and down times for both were my up times!! Immense stamina in your legs.

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Brilliant! Amazing achievement, a tough but rewarding challenge. Makes me want to jump in the car and head to Wales! X

[@GracesAdventures]

Thank you! Haha do it 😆

[@MegaProPhoto1]

Hi Grace... Just stumbled upon your channel.... love the Solo Camp video near Tryfan... Just watching this one...its a while since I've done all 3000ft peaks in N Wales in a day camping on Snowdon to start.. so nice to see some of these places... nice videos...All the best Richard

[@MettleMountains]

Well done!!! Love the channel, inspired me to get out there on my first expedition v.soon!

[@CamsCampbell]

Wow. Respect! That was so inspiring to watch. The smile on your face at the top of Snowdon; even after having to wait for 15 mins! And to be filming b-roll too. You’re amazing!

[@bradfreeman8149]

Love love love this! Great adventure 😊🙌🏽

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Brad 😊

[@MrKrupp42]

Congratulations ! you should be so proud of yourself, massive achievement , it's painful but SO worth it , it will stay with you forever

[@tinytrekkervlogs]

Thanks for sharing this, AWESOMENESS 👍🌞 Amazing filming too xx

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

You smashed it! Well done. I bet your so proud of yourself :)

[@GracesAdventures]

Thank you! Kinda am 😀

[@TheBoogeyMan002]

Beautiful 😍 the views are lovely too 👍🏼

[@Animal5036]

Hey! Just found your channel while looking for videos on the Welsh 3 peak challenge. Awesome content, thank you😀✌️

[@michelletulloch2987]

That was fantastic, you are one very fit lady.

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Michelle 😊

[@eddiewilliamsmentalist]

Fantastic achievement, well done

[@BiggyJimbo]

Amazing! Well done

[@davidmellor5605]

Great vlog! Hard going doing these 3 peaks as it is but having to drive yourself between each one is so tough! I did it last year with peak elevation uk and enjoyed the challenge. There was about a 30 person queue for the trig on snowdon so just had to run up to the top, touch it and come back down 😤 cader seems so much bigger than penyfan because i think the starting point for pen is at higher elevation. Where i think on cader you are pretty much sea level

[@darrenboorman4365]

Well done. Your videos are great. Keep smiling

[@stevecoombs8409]

Tremendous series of climbs!! ,Huge Well done .I watched your very 1st walk up Cader Idris a while back,you've come on in leaps and bounds .I did Pen Y Fan in the army a few times lol Cader Idris I love as it's quieter than Snowdon ,on a good day try the Crib Goch route up Snowdon ☺️ .I'm taking a friend up Cader Idris October,it will be at a slower pace than yours as I'm 62 and he's 70 .........huge Well done and pat on the back !!

[@MikeWood]

Fantastic job. Quite an accomplishment. Perhaps when you try it next the fog will lift. You earned that pizza. :)

[@pauljones401]

Nice one mate! You’re channel is going incredible! You’re catching my Cadair Idris film as frankly mine took about 6 hours but I did leave the cigars at home! Fair play for doing so much to show the countryside is for everyone if you know what I mean! All the best stay safe. Paul

[@Karatebaker7]

Excellent video and well done, you’re an inspiration thank you for sharing your experience 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@Spike-cj6pl]

Awesome video, great job 👏

[@DownHillCol]

There’s always someone on the top of bloomin Snowdon! I was up there at 12pm once on my own and someone was up there in a bivy near the top, that absolutely scared the heck out of me as I had my earphones in and I was on my own talking to myself, and I hear a HELLO! From out of the thick fog up there!!! I absolutely pooped my pants 😂🙈

[@mcmanus1806]

I did this only a few weeks ago! Well done :)

[@JonathanJoosten]

Mount Snowdon did that once. We got lost in the poring rain and couldn't quite get to the top, then we had to slowly climb down again. That would have been around 21 years ago, I think. Good memories 😁.

[@patrickh7368]

Well done…..fabulous stuff….you would be surprised what a difference a couple of good trekking poles make ….😊

[@MrGbkristian]

Well done. That was great to watch.

[@stephendevoy904]

What a great achievement and such an inspirational video. Definitely adding this to my to do list 👍👍

[@domainofscience]

This looks amazing! But hard work too. Would love to attempt this one day. Thanks for sharing!

[@markedwardwoodward848]

Fantastic challenge -well done you.

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Mark 😊

[@sonata4real]

thank you for taking us on your adventures. As a Londoner without a car - I'm living vicariously through you hahaa..

[@carolinesaunders6656]

Congratulations 👏 fantastic achievement 🙌

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Caroline!

[@mistsmogguru8378]

Very impressed 👏 You've saved me doing it. Thanks

[@vinspinful]

great challange definitely going to try this one!

[@timpickford6008]

Inspiration to anyone,well done.

[@marka.denham6858]

So we did it anyway. Our total time on the mountains was 6 hours 52 mins (think it is a new record from what I can tell) total time of event with entire driving was 12 hours 15 mins. We were quite impressed with that, but also well done to you again Grace. After doing this you also know how it feels and how deep you have to dig. I n truth it was magnificent and the views and weather was ace. Cadar was tough though.

[@therightfoot81]

Thats an incredible achievement. Well done.

[@FuriousBOIAngel]

Well done Grace. Smashing effort

[@Brownie-956]

Awesome. Nice one

[@EdEMitchell]

oh, to be that chipper at 5:15am on a damp Welsh morning! :) Really enjoyed the vid

[@FUNKINETIK]

A great achievement Grace. I’m looking up at Cadair Idris from Dolgellau and hoping to go up there tomorrow. And so I just watched your first video ‘one mountain a month’ and now you have just completed three in one day - amazing. Your first journey up Cadair Idris reminded me of my first walk up Snowden. I was far from prepared (long story) a lot wiser now though. Keep on trecking… and making great videos of inspiration. P E A C E L O V E U N I T Y

[@lewismaher5847]

Great work, well done 👏. Will definitely want to try this one day. I need a new challenge and wasn't sure what it was going to be, so thanks for helping me decide. 🤘😁

[@hostprods8059]

gggaaaaahhh!! So wonderful! I've been in Spain for quite a few years now and there is nothing I miss more than those misty, cloudy, squelchy and soggy mountains. Thanks for letting me see them again like that, and here's hoping my deteriorating hips and knees will get me up them again some time soon. (and you definitely don't look 3.5m tall in the videos. funny how that works...) Anyway... well done you.

[@stevebeaty6798]

Cadair Idris is an awesome peak. Did that last year. The lake half way up is a great swim in the summer 😊

[@garethhunt2655]

Takes some effort that does, well done 👍🏻

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Gareth!

[@grantcriddle1326]

Well Done

[@mrjole5407]

Great achievement well done ! And great video 👍

[@pipez12345]

Awesome views!! Reminds me of Cajas National Park in Ecuador. Congrats on the quick decent :)

[@pipez12345]

shit, this was meant for the first solo camp one lol

[@richardhowells1897]

1 hour 24 minutes for Pen Y Fan whilst also setting up your camera, running past it and then collecting your camera again. 😆 Good effort!

[@1_bowerworld]

Well done 👏🏻 amazing effort / achievement 👏🏻

[@royjennison3916]

wow well done , it looked a hard slog , loved the views too , respect to you

[@DartmoorPaul]

brilliant!! Awesome challenge, Grace! Well deserved amazing smile at the top of Snowdon! Many people wouldnt have ventured from the car park with viz that bad, let alone to the top of a mountain. Fair play to you, driving too! I felt every step on the way off Snowdon though as I’ve been there at the top feeling awful & then the nightmare of back down the Pyg track 😂 Mare. But YOU DID IT!

[@johnfowlertrailrunning]

Congrats Grace, great achievement and lovely video as always. Looks like some good basic training for Ultramarathons! 🏔😀

[@welshlad6427]

Well done Grace looked amazing. To do that in a day is fantastic 👍👏 If you want I’ve another peak you can climb near me and it’s a lot more fun 😉😂

[@freedom-iz2se]

Thats on my list of things to do 😁

[@iaintinsley3123]

Superb. Well done. Keep doing Amazing things. Need to tick off pen y fan

[@GracesAdventures]

thank you!

[@tonykrol3635]

Wow, that’s a fantastic achievement and a great vid. Shame about the lack of summit views. 👍

[@gwyn409]

Impressive and inspiring! Well done.

[@daveplant1611]

Thanks for sharing, great video showing honesty with yourself telling it how it is👏👏 im getting inspired to do 3 peaks challenge next week Saturday the 14-8-21

[@alanb8624]

Really good video just discovered your channel Some really good content

[@GracesAdventures]

Ah cheers Alan 👍🏻☺️

[@nathangould2198]

nice effort. solid work

[@lifeontherocks7441]

Top job 👍 Great video 👌

[@GracesAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@grantduffy6332]

Thanks 😁

[@darrenrichards34]

That was a fantastic hike, well done. Where next??? 🤔

[@johno4377]

Just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort you go to getting some of the shots, like at 7:41, I can't help but imagine you climbing back down to get your camera then having to go back up again! Good effort that!

[@safromnc8616]

Very nice - well done !...ironically I'm sporting my Georgia Canyon Climbers Club shirt today...I do like the idea of doing (a challenge) all in one day. I need to look for similar here in the States !

[@colinstewart7123]

Good job 😻

[@outsidethepyramid]

tough challenge that ! minffordd path is a big hike. Almost double the ascent of Pen Y Fan i think :/

[@GracesAdventures]

It was tough! And yes Minffordd is just never ending 😅

[@meemeebrown26b]

Great hike Grace i'm new to your channel and enjoying it would like to see you do the National 3 i.m hoping to do the myself some time but i don't think in 24 hrs lol more like 72 Atb .

[@GracesAdventures]

It’s on the list! Haha. Thank you 😊

[@bimo5401]

woow beautiful place my friend greeting from indonesia

[@davey.59dave]

Hey grace that was an awsome watch, i got a bit worried when you started flagging but you must be superfit to get them 3 in one day well done you 👍

[@tuckedup]

very well done, good luck further, nice one

[@BeeeHonest]

Good job! Keep it up! ^_^

[@barmouthbridge8772]

fantastic effort. I'd suggest wearing in decent leather boots for more support. it's so easy to turn an ankle. you won't lose much time and it's worth the small weight penalty for the extra support.

[@1971382]

Great videos. I went up Pen y Fan 2 weeks ago to see the sunrise at 4;45am. The weather was perfect. I filmed it with the drone. If you get a minute, take a look at the scenery you missed 🥲

[@lewisoutadventure7671]

Nice video thanks for sharing. What do you use for your vlogs a go pro ? i need something lighter lol

[@GracesAdventures]

I use a DJI Osmo - I’ve linked it in the description 👍🏻

[@hittingthetrail]

Wow! Amazing! Such an inspiration and definitely a challenge I want to do 🙌🏼

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks so much - I hope you do!

[@lee.valley]

amazing motivation 👏 well done

[@danny_dainton]

The was an awesome effort!! Congrats! 🏆 Did you end up staying close to the finish point after or head back home? I'm thinking about doing something similar but the thought of driving 5+ hours home after doesn't sound great 😂

[@Happy_Snapper]

So fit, well done 😍

[@DerrynVranch]

Well done Grace, looks amazing! I really want to do this challenge. Sorry for the newbie question, but where did you end up sleeping after snowdon? It’s a 6 hour drive home for me, I don’t fancy that after climbing 3 peaks 😳

[@GracesAdventures]

Thank you! And there’s a YHA right opposite that end carpark 👍🏻

[@tylermoore3686]

Top Top effort 🙂

[@paulsheridan4566]

Hi Grace, what camera are you using? Your camera work is superb!

[@tobywan12]

Sure you have heard it before but you have the most amazing eyes.

[@sarahwatts8897]

Hi grace! Love the videos.. what path did you take up Snowdon please? X

[@GracesAdventures]

Thanks Sarah! I took the Pyg Track up and Miners Track down :)

[@mikemorley451]

I've gone up Cader Idris via the Pony Path and the Foxes Path (alright, two thirds of the way up the Foxes Path. We got to the foot of the scree slope and the cloud was so thick we couldnt even see the scree slope, let alone the path up it, so we abandoned) Would I be right in thinking you used the Minffordd Path? It looked rather more picturesque than those I've used.

[@LVJANISLV]

How was the parking around the mountains? Thinking of doing the 3 peaks tomorrow

[@GracesAdventures]

I deliberately did it on a week day purely because of parking... On a Saturday will be very busy. (Also you need to pre book the snowdon carpark unless you chance finding a spot in a layby and walking up!) but deffo do it when you can 🙌🏻

[@Allthingsaboutthegarden]

Great vids . Did you point the summit of Crib Goch out as snowdon though 😂.

[@art_forever_32]

Cute!

[@osmowalker]

I would enjoy the view from the top as well

[@roccostiff2444]

God dam your my dream lady your literally on my door step, I’m a volunteer for central beacons mountain rescue would love to take you out, your gorgeous 😉

[@LostInDistance]

That’s the only thing with Wales. The weathers so unpredictable, even if you go by the weather reports the weather can change so quickly.

[@davidhughes8315]

Quavers. LOL! ;)

[@Predamon]

It must get very expensive leaving all them cameras behind. Well done

[@Spencerjones_music3]
