Skiddaw Climbing Notes

Stuart Hewes from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Did Skiddaw Today. In the extreme Winter conditions.

Advise novice walkers not to attempt.

A lot of snow drift, recommend snow goggles.

The route is iced over therefore use of spike pleats. Crampons not advised as terrain may damage them as a fellow walker broke theirs.

Wind chill factor is severe

Wind speed at Skiddaw peak is extreme can catch you off guard.

Visibility almost whiteout along Skiddaw peak.

Happy walking.
