Trading lifts for hiking boots, a sunny weekend in July saw 20 companies and 75 walkers ready to tackle the 3000 feet of Yr Wyddfa for the Lift Industry Mental Health Charter. It was all about raising awareness for mental health and having a blast while they did it!

With many months in the planning the Snowdon event started in brilliant sunshine on the Friday, with happy campers. But on the day of the climb, the weather had taken a dramatic turn for the worse. The name "Snowdon" is first recorded in 1095 as Snawdune, and is derived from the Old English elements snaw and dun, meaning "snow hill" - and the mountain lived up to its name!

It rained throughout the climb with conditions worsening as the teams approached the summit. With -2 temperatures, and ice on participants' caps, along with 30 mph winds, it become a challenge of strength and endurance, but the brave teams overcame! The way down was a different season, with the sun shining on smiling faces!

A big thank you to our sponsors: Global1, J&L, Petrain services, Eze Lifts, Schnieder Lift Controls, Elevator Jobs, Husbands/Deltron

And massive congratulations to the 75 who took part!
