| 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! | |

| 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. | |

| nartreb | bonus peak Date Climbed: Jan 14, 2007 | |
| 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 | |

| Seth Maciejowski | Route Climbed: From Opalescent brook shelter Date Climbed: October 2000 | |
| 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. | |
