The brilliant moment a team of drag queens climbed Snowdon in heels

An amazing fundraising effort has been made by the most glamorous of people. In north Wales a team of drag queens marched to the peak of Snowdon in an effort to raise money for Trans Aid Cymru, an organisation dedicated to supporting the trans and non-binary communities in Wales.

Snowdon, also known as Yr Wyddfa in Welsh, is Wales' highest mountain standing at 1,085m above sea level. The first person to ever climb the impressive peak was Thomas Johnson in 1639. The self-described queer collective, Cwm Rag, made their ascent to the peak of Snowdon posing at the mountain's misty summit in impressive heels and killer make-up looks.

Oberon White, a 29-year-old cabaret performer who's originally from Wales but now performs regularly in east London, took on the challenge with fellow drag artists. The climb was filmed by S4C as part of a documentary which is due to be released in the next few months.
