P600s Challenge for Mind Over Mountains

P600s Challenge · 23 August 2025
On Friday 25th April, I embark on my P600s Challenge, which will see me set a new “fastest known time” for the ascent of the P600 mountain peaks within 121 days by Saturday 23rd August.
The P600s are the 121 mountain peaks across the British Isles with a minimum prominence of 600m (1,968.5ft).
Only 7 people are known to have ever ascended the P600s in any space of time and the most recent, Liam Chase, was the first to do so in a calendar year by setting the current “fastest known time” of 313 days (10 months and 9 days).
Paragon SME Lending will be using my P600s Challenge to raise funds for Mind Over Mountains (RCN 1190883).
During the course of my P600s Challenge, I will:
• Walk at least 866.5 miles, the equivalent of 33.1 marathons
• Ascend at least 349,839 foot, the equivalent of 12.1 Mount Everests
Thank you for reading,
Simon
