There is nothing to stop you from climbing the Old Man - it is very easy.
However don't go up by the tourist route past the Coppermines - this is stony and boring. Buy a copy of Wainwright's Guide to the Southern (I think ) Fells and go up by one of the routes that he recommends - much better ecenery and a more enjoyable walk.
