Tenovus Cancer Care 10YFan challenge team climb Pen y Fan
A group of 41 trekkers climbed Pen y Fan 10 times in 24 hours to raise money for charity.
The challenge was organised by Tenovus Cancer Care to raise money for the Welsh charity.
Pen y Fan is South Wales' highest peak standing at 2,907 feet and the trekkers raised more than £10,000.
The 10YFan challenge is equivalent to climbing Everest and is considered no mean feat.
Last weekend, staff and volunteers at basecamp, including the ever-resourceful and smiling cooks, provided food and encouragement to the trekkers who participated in the event.
Becky Edmunds from Tenovus Cancer Care, who was at the event and saw the walkers off from the start, said their efforts were 'amazing,' with every trekker going 'above and beyond' to raise funds for charity.
She said: "Every step of the way our amazing supporters went above and beyond to raise important funds for Tenovus Cancer Care.
"I would like to say how amazing the event was and the lengths people went to in order to support the charity.
