The Push 2025
3 July 2025
On 28th June 2025, nine amazing teams, each led by one wheelchair user, conquered Yr Wyddfa for to support Back Up’s life-changing services.
The day began bright and early, with the first team heading up the mountain at 8:30am and the final team setting off at 10:50am. Each group braved heavy rain and strong winds, displaying true grit and determination as they pushed, pulled and climbed their way across rugged terrain.
Although our teams were unable to head up to the summit of Yr Wyddfa due to the poor weather conditions, each group successfully reached the impressive secondary summit of Cloggy crag. After a well-earned break at this peak, our teams began the demanding descent back down the tallest mountain in Wales.
Our first team crossed the finish line at 1pm, whilst our final team completed the challenge at 4:45pm. Throughout the day, every individual showed incredible resilience, tenacity and positivity, working together to complete this epic climb.
After an unforgettable day on the mountain, it was time to swap muddy boots for dancing shoes at the post-Push party. Participants, supporters and volunteers came together to celebrate the day and recognise everyone’s incredible efforts. We also gave out some awards to honour some standout moments from the day:
- Top Fundraiser: Team Wilson
- Fastest Team: Team 3rd @ 30 and Paul Sagar Team
- Spirit of The Push: Team Serious Injury Law & Fletchers Solicitors
