For anyone who did the Champagne Challenge and was thinking while at it, ‘Why the hell am I doing it? here comes the next chapter; The Hot Chocolate Challenge (HCC).
Based on the Champagne Challenge route, clockwise or counterclockwise from Fronwyder hut the route is around 55k with a 5,000m elevation.
Subject to the ground, snow, wind, and general weather conditions in March, I estimate 25-30 hours to complete the route. Any finisher will receive a cup of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows.
I tried to portray a realistic picture of what can be fun but also gruesome at times...
Gear - will see closer to the date, subject to weather, if full winter gear is required
