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.
