We headed to Snowdonia, North Wales, to take on Crib Goch — one of the UK's most famous and exposed Grade 1 scrambling routes. With steep drops, a knife-edge ridge and some incredible mountain scenery, this was another step in preparing for our biggest challenges yet.

We're Toby and James, the founders of the addiction project.

What started as two friends wanting to push themselves physically has grown into something much bigger.

Having both experienced the impact of alcohol addiction within our families, we started the addiction project to raise awareness of addiction, men's mental health and the people affected by both.

Our aim is to use adventure, endurance sports and physical challenges to start conversations that people often find difficult to have.

This trip took us into the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), scrambling along Crib Goch as part of our continued training for future mountaineering challenges, including our ambition to tackle Europe's highest peaks in 2027.

We're not professional mountaineers. We're learning, gaining experience and documenting the process as we go — the training, mistakes, conversations and everything in between.

This channel isn't just about climbing mountains. It's about challenging ourselves, building something meaningful and showing what can happen when people come together for a purpose.

If you enjoy hiking, scrambling, mountaineering, outdoor adventures or following people taking on ambitious challenges, we'd love for you to follow the journey.

And if addiction or mental health has affected you or someone close to you, we hope this project gives you somewhere to feel heard.

Challenge. Community. Support.
