Title: Penn Y Fan
Post by: Rusty Madra on February 17, 2012

Was wondering if anyone has climbed Penn Y Fan in Breacon, Wales? As a project I wanted to do the Fan Dance over the summer:

Have started by getting up in the Mournes and getting the lungs and legs sorted. Wondering if anyone has done it and/or has any tips? I'd be happy enough just to complete it while there's still light never mind doing it in any time frame  ;D

I climbed it last August. A lovely mountain and it is part of a ridge walk. If you just want to climb it on its own click on the following route which I used.
