When he set off for his first climb on 5 April, Daniel, from Merthyr Tydfil, was aiming to beat the previous record of 365 climbs in one calendar year, set by Des Lally in 2019.

But he smashed that, with 366 climbs in just 171 days and decided to set himself a new target of 730 walks in a year.

Daniel said after starting he has met thousands of people on the mountain who have offered words of support.

The conditions however did make it difficult for him to meet his target and he described the winter months as “really, really tough”.

“There were months of insane rain, hail, and when it hits you up there you have to wear ski goggles.

“The weather forecast on the mountain is very, very irregular so you can go up there thinking it’s going be okay,” he told Radio Wales Breakfast.

Daniel said he will not be climbing the mountain again “unless it’s sunny” in the future.
