What do you think about tailwind?
Someone put out a full video of the entire Niesen Treppenlauf race. Shows nicely how narrow all the stairs are, and how “quiet” the race is with everyone being focused on their own “challenge and suffering”.
I am passed at around 1:01:00 to 1:02:00 into the video (black short and blue/green shirt - not fully visible). 😅 The guy has a strong technique and amazing finishing time.

Had a long weekend in southern #Eryri and tried to squeeze in some training (i.e. drag people up mountains with me).
- Climbed Aran Fawddwy from Cwm Cywarch, pleased with this as it was the only "Welsh Major"/P600 peak I didn't climb last year
- Did a social run in the hills around Machynlleth, some good climbing/descending practice (not technically Eryri, but adjacent)
- Had an easy day walking around Harlech, paddling in the sea, with views of Yr Wyddfa from the castle battlements
- Hiked around Rhinog Fawr, but didn't summit as the ascent was a bit scrambly and some of the party weren't confident reversing it. Will come back for it!
