A1 WHO DARES WINS

Snowdon — 20X (May 16, 2010)

Second SAS Link · Pre-Event Photograph · MR39-7

A1-Who-Dares-Wins Ultra Archive Acrylic

This acrylic wall art panel documents a real photograph taken on Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), Wales, on May 16, 2010 — my birthday — during ascent.

The image was taken before any awareness of what was about to unfold.

At the moment this photograph was captured, I was in blind — ascending Snowdon under normal conditions, unaware that this day would later be recognised as the Second SAS Survival Link within the archive My Life, My Deaths, Their Plans Failed (2001–2025).

This is a pre-event record.

CONTEXT — SNOWDON 20X

Snowdon, May 2010, became SAS Link Two only in retrospect.

At the time:

• there was no anticipation of escalation

• no sense of incoming threat

• no performance or staging

The photograph captures ordinary movement before extraordinary consequence.

That is what gives it weight.

BRAND & OVERLAY SIGNIFICANCE

This edition carries A1-Who-Dares-Wins branding, linking the image directly to the ethos of:

• composure under pressure

• forward movement without theatrics

• resolve without announcement

The overlay references:

• Thailand 2004 (First SAS Link)

• Snowdon coordinates

• the continuity of survival across environments

This branding places the image firmly inside the A1-WDW Archive.
