24 Oct 98 - Stuart's Knob is often done in combination with other peaks (either
Castle Mtn or Helena Ridge). Since I had climbed Castle earlier in the year, I was climbing
Helena's Ridge this time. From Helena's Ridge, you can see Stuart's Knob as merely a ridge walk
as seen here. You can descend Helena's Ridge on the "Stuart's Knob" side of it, so make your
way down to the ridge, then simply walk over to Stuart's Knob. Once you get there, you will want to
circle around it clockwise. On the southwest side of the "knob" you will see how to get up
through the rockband. When I climbed this peak, I went up through the middle of the southeast section
of the rockband. This can be done, but my climbing partner for the day (Chris) went up the right way
and was at the summit waiting for me. Go the right way. It's faster.
Also of note, you
can extend your journey to include Television Peak (off to the right). From Stuart's knob, walk along
the ridge (actually passing TV Peak), then approach it from the north side. What a long walk!!!
In the background, you can also see Mt. Temple.

24 Oct 98 - Here is a better picture of how to get over to Television Peak.
Kane says it takes a couple of hours to go from Stuart's Knob to TV Peak. For me, I ran out of day
light (and energy).
