| ScAtTeRbOnE | My 46er Finish on Skylight Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2012 | |
| I hiked from the Loj past Lake Arnold, up Gray, over to Skylight, and back over Marcy to the Loj. I loved the views from Skylight and the climb up the south face of Marcy. Great weather and route. | |

| Left Slant Rock to climb haystack, relax a bit and down to lake Tears of the cloud to do a rapid ascent-descent of Skylight (missed it last year when doing Gray). We then went on to climbed Marcy. We had the summit to ourselves and the stewart. Super day. We climbed down to Slant Rock. | ||

| Bkoziol3 | Climbed after Marcy Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2011 | |
| A beautiful open summit with spectacular views of Marcy. Hit it up after topping out her big sister. It is too bad this peak is often over looked, or is it? #20 | |

| gintherj | From Slant Rock Date Climbed: May 7, 2009 | |
| Conditions were ensuring my snails pace on this trip. After descending Marcy, I decided to head up to Skylight. Very glad that I did; for an unassuming climb, it has a beautiful summit! | |

| TLP | a great summer day Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009 | |
| I went up the trail to Lake Arnold, then to Feldspar, and up to Lake Tear of the Clouds. Along the way I tripped once and poked myself in the face with a trekking pole, and sank into some really deep mud twice. But hey that's the Adirondacks for you. I enjoyed the views from Skylight. A LOT of people were hiking from the Loj to various destinations on a perfect day weather wise, and it was the Sunday before Labor Day. | |

| starship_jen | Four Corners Date Climbed: Feb 21, 2009 | |
| Our 46th winter peak! No views from the top as the clouds moved back in and it was super windy, but it was our big finish! Awesome! Definitely must return to this one! | |

| Tahawus | Mount Skylight Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2006 | |
| Climbed with Gray via the Uphill Brook Trail from Tahawus. My final peak of the forty-six and a great finish to a multi-day trek. We arrived at the summit of Skylight's beautiful grassy dome around noon on what might have been the finest day of the year. Fantastic views of Marcy, Haystack and Panther Gorge abound. Don't forget to bring a stone to the summit cairn! | |

| MattGreene | Superstition | |
| Take a small stone to the top to appease the weather gods. It's supposed to bring good weather, although I'm not sure if that means snow, ice, or sun in the Adirondacks. | ||

| Florida Frank | Great sister to Marcy! Date Climbed: Jul 20, 1977 | |
| This can be a bonus to a day climb of Marcy from the south, but makes for a long day! | |
