It’s been almost a year since our first team trip to Wales, as we looked to scale the mountain once again as a team. Last year saw us tackle the climb in October, bringing the challenges of a colder climb and slippery rocks to scramble over. This year we faced the opposite, as we raced up the mountain to try and beat the sunrise, before June’s heatwave kicked in!
The 12km Rhyd Ddu path to the top of Mount Snowdon
We left the camp just after 3AM, with the hopes of making it to the summit before the sun was rising. Whilst we made excellent time, we were just behind the sunrise as sections of the hike proven very technical and challenging.
We did however, all make it to the top, with no accidents or injuries during the 2,936 feet (895 metre) ascent!
As well as the climb, the team spent the weekend camping, swimming in the beautiful Llyn Cwellyn reservoir, and exploring the villages of Betws Garmon and Salem. Here’s some of our favourite pictures from the trip.
All in all, the team had a fantastic time away, celebrating what’s been an exceptional first 5 months of 2023 for Firemind. It’s trips like these that really strengthen our bond as a team, ensuring we continue to support each other in projects, trust in each other through challenges and provide the best service for our customers.
We’re expanding quickly and always on the lookout for talented people to join our team. For more information about Firemind’s culture and current opportunities, head over to our Careers page.
