I've never been very good at the skyscraper puzzles, but this one didn't take too much effort. Like Christine said, the 1 clues and the consecutive rules were probably enough to solve the puzzle. Then the one 5 clue filled in a complete column (lower right), and made that whole section solve itself pretty easily. I definitely enjoyed it though, don't let my comments make it sound like it was too easy to be fun! I agree.

The only skyscraper clues that were needed were the 1s, which gave you the neccesary numbers to get the puzzle started. After that it filled in very quickly purely from the consecutive rules - presumably because they were 6 x 6 grids and so just one number ruled out most of the others. Similar comments from me too.

Clearly I need to prune away unnecessary Skyscraper clues in future puzzles. :) I experimented with a few different layouts and in each case I didn't need any givens, so this precise puzzle setup is clearly (as you say) over-specified.

The pattern at the top and bottom was cute in how it wrapped around. I feel that so much information was given that the puzzle seemed to solve itself for me. I had to slow down to make sure that I wasn't making mistakes. This one was very easy for me. The pattern at the top and bottom was cute in how it wrapped around.
