In a quiet but powerful move, Kate Middleton completed the National Three Peaks Challenge — climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon — to shine a light on life after a cancer diagnosis. Read on to discover the full story!
The challenge spans all three highest summits in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours: Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. The route covers roughly 23 miles and a total ascent of about 10,052 feet, according to ThreePeaksChallenge.uk. Kate posted a photo from the Ben Nevis summit on June 28 (the image was taken June 27), showing her in hiking gear; she completed each climb solo but had Mountain Rescue support.
