| AdamTurner | Standard route from the car park  Date Climbed: May 30, 2012 | |
| A friend and I had some time to waste so we rambled up Skiddaw taking in Little Man along the way. A bit of an unrelenting slog up but nice and easy and quick. | |

| APennineMan | Easy but delightful. | |
| Plodded up the tourist track from Gale Road, detoured up Little Man and cut over into the S Face before climbing up to the top. Lived up to all my expectations- a great mountain. Spent 3 hours on the summit i liked it that much. | |

| oconnellr | Route: Keswick tourist route Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2008 | |
| Fantastic day of sunshine and a great way to finish off some hiking in the Lakes. Left from Rosthwaite following the Cumbria Way up to Keswick and then continued up and over Latrigg. From the carpark to the summit 62 minutes. Came down over Skiddaw Little Man and back to the parking lot via the standard route. | |

| Finally bagged my last English 3000er. Been putting it off for years as it never looked as interesting as other climbs/scrambles. Great in wet/winter weather.... | |

| mountainmanmark | A few times Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2008 | |
| Climbed this one a few times, the most recent from Millbeck via Carl Side, with every conceivable type of weather. On top it was around -15C blowing a gale with a mix of snow and hail. 90 minutes later we were paddling in the pools by Carsleddam dam/waterfall in about 10C compete contrast. | |

| My wife and I took my parents up Skiddaw on their first trip to the Lakes. It was a nice easy hike but getting snowed on on the summit added a little bit of adventure. | |

| munroitis | Route Climbed: Longside Edge. Date Climbed: Feb 96 | |
| An absolutely freezing cold day. Bassenthwaite was frozen over (not a sight I've since seen). The route over Longside Edge was perfect until we entered the clouds and hit the gale. There were snow crystals blown into all manner of shapes. Totally outstanding. | |

| Trevor Card | Route Climbed: Bridle way on the south side Date Climbed: 27th Nov 2003 | |

| Andy Kennedy | Route Climbed: Ullock Pike ridge travese to summit Date Climbed: 13th July 2003 | |
| Sweltering heat made it very hard going up until the final push to the summit where a stong wind help cool us down. Views from the summit were fantastic, if a little hazy but it was a bit of a slog getting there! | |

| orBit | Route Climbed: Lonscale Fell, Jenkin Hill, Little Man Summit Date Climbed: 14.11.01 | |
| My Brother and I carried our Mountain bikes most of the way to the summit, observing walkers faces who were on the decent. Weather took a turn for the worse as we got nearer to the summit, but we made it, 4 Hrs from Keswick town centre. (carrying the bike) 25 Mins mad mad downhill and 1 puncture later we reached the bottom. Great Experience, but would think twice about doing it on a bike again! orBit and Matt | |
