| birdny | Wow  Date Climbed: Jun 28, 1996 | |
| After climbing over Haystack the day before and sleeping in Panther Gorge is ungodly rain. We woke to a beautiful day and went up Skylight. It was an incredible summit, so open. | |

| Tagged the summit on the way to Marcy. No views (clouded over), but had fun leaning into the wind while balancing on a boulder on the summit. | |

| rasgoat | Excellent winter ascent! Date Climbed: Jan 14, 2007 | |
| Along with Nartreb, hiked up Skylight in no visibility with about 30 mph winds. Good rime on trees and rock. Easy hike, (not the approach but the mountain itself). even in winter | |

| From ADK Loj via Van Ho trail, over Marcy, bushwhack to Gray and down to Lake Tear of the Clouds, up to Four Corners, tagged Skylight, back down and out via Lake Arnold. Weather: a little too perfect (a little too warm on this winter day; snow conditions turned bad later in the day. | |

| We hiked up and got some views to the south on skylight. There was a lot of snow on the ground. We spotted a pine marten at the trail junction below the summit before heading up Marcy which afforded no views, but had lots of ice and snow. | |

| pmlupi | Route Climbed: Via Avalance Pass Date Climbed: October 13, 1996 | |
| Spent two cold days bagging the High Peaks. Hit Algonquain, Coldon and Gray, spent a brutally cold night in a lean-to then hit Skylight, Marcy and Phelps. We were past peak for the foliage thus making this a cold overcast and gloomy adventure. | |

| climber46 | Route Climbed: Hiking Trail from the north Date Climbed: Sept 10, 2000 | |
| This hike (7.5 miles, 3000 feet in under 4 hours) convinced me that I could climb all 46 Adirondack High Peaks. After reaching Marcy, I climbed nearby Skylight, and Gray. The view of Marcy to the north from Skylight is aesthetically pleasing. | |

| woodstrider | Route Climbed: Trail fron John Brook Date Climbed: 8/25/96 and Feb 7, 99 | |
| Always a great day. In the summer part of three peak extravaganza. In winter I did Grey, then Marcy and then Skylight. DON'T FORGET TO BRING A STONE TO THE SUMMIT! | |
