Dodd>ullock pike>longside>Carl side>skiddaw>lonscale fell round. From Carl side the left path up the fell side. Although longer it's shallower at the start but really steep just before the top. Left at the top to skiddaw man and north top. Right to middle top and south top. | keenwalker | 02/09/2022 |

Attempted to climb Skiddaw on a sunny afternoon. Got to the top and a massive hail storm rolled in with really strong winds so only got as far as Middle Top. Fearing there may be lightning with the hail we got off the mountain pretty quick. We will be back !! | jarmin45 | 28/07/2021 |
