You were right Geoff, Snowdon would be about the 57th highest, I thought there would be lots higher. They always feel higher, especially on the west coast as you tend to start from sea level so climb the full height.

I know what you mean, Iain, especially when compared to an ascent of Snowdon starting from Pen y Pass.
Just think about about the effort required to get up any of the Cuillin hills compared to Snowdon, and they don't even top 1000m.

I'm not even going to try and talk my way out of it.......
The Cuillin was what I was thinking off, the first peak on the Ridge, Gars Bhein (is it?), such a drag to get up.
We walked around to do the Dubhs ridge, grabbed a pile of fresh mussels, then climbed back over to Glen Brittle and cooked them up, made it all worth while.
I'm entering - I love North Wales - first time for this race too. Plus in keeping with this thread I should hopefully have had my first crack at the Cuillin ridge by then. Roll on those lighter evenings and a chance to get our more.

Done Snowdon a few times it used to be ok but now with the need for it to make good telly,
the creeping commercialism, and no free food it has lost it`s charm so its Ben Rinnes for me.
I will still be running Snowdon Marathon though
