Chris Daniel walks the route from Pont Ar Daf car park to the peak of Pen y Fan at 886m. He has met thousands of people on the mountain who offered support, but winter months were really tough due to difficult conditions like rain and hail. He trained for nine months before starting the challenge, and previously overcame arachnophobia and acrophobia by holding tarantulas and doing biplane stunts.
Chris Daniel hopes his challenges will inspire people to take bowel screening tests. The exact date of his 742nd climb and how much money or awareness has been raised remain unknown, as do his future plans and Des Lally's reaction to the record being broken.
