TV Peak

"we did a traverse of the Castle Mountain massif, starting on the north side on Protection mountain, keeping to the ridge to Television Peak via the moderate NW ridge, descending the NE ridge to a minor col, to follow the broad ridge (two local highpoints) to Stuart Knob. From there we descend W of SK to the true summit of Castle mountian, the North summit. While the plan was to then tag Helena Ridge, we agreed we had had a full day, and descended directly to Rockbound Lake. A fantastic long day, with some snow on TV peak keeping things interesting." — apfelstrudel • Sep 1, 2018

"Epic day with Simon, Roland and Dave doing a big traverse out by Castle. We started bright and early at 6 A.M. on the trail and got back around 7 P.M. to Rockbound Lake. We took two vehicles and shuttled back to the starting point, which was the trail up to the mine on Protection. We ascended the ridge and kept going to TV Peak and then onward to Stuart Knob and North Castle. It got spicy with all the snow along the moderate(ly exposed) ridge, but I lived to tell and to get my 112th and 113th Kane peaks. Because it poured rain in the morning on the drive out we had a bit of snow to contend with. It was also windy and colder than I would have liked. Still a good day and I am tired, especially after doing Fullerton on Thursday too." — leigh-annewebster • Sep 1, 2018

"Long day. Started at Rock Bound Lake, worked my way up. The rock was much more pleasant than Mt Daly. Skipped Stuart Knob. Proceeded to an unnamed highpoint, just in case someone decides to name it. Tagged TV peak, proceeded to go along the ridge, and I really do not know why Spirko decided to not do it as it was moderate (imho). Got Protection Mountain done as well. Descended, saw the mine entrance. Descended on a small but excellent trail, Picked up the bike (which I had planted earlier) and biked back to Rock Bound Lake trail head." — BertB • Aug 25, 2018

"Part of Protection - TV - Stuart Knob - Castle North - Castle a 12 hr 31km traverse with Gerry. Really nice traverse. Out Rockbound Lake trail should only be done on skis ;} This peak is actually TV Peak." — alexjoseph • Jul 28, 2018

"From stuart knob. Straighforward to the peak. Snow on the lower slopes. Kickstepped to more solid ground. Then just a scree slog to the top. Great views. Spirkos route is holding snow (ridge top and backside). Attempted kane's suggested descent down southwest slopes from repeater. Found huge cliffs 170 meters down. Regained the summit. Slopes on far skiers right looked more promising, but it was getting late so we just retraced our steps to rockbound lake and the car. Made for a long day!" — mike_rogers81 • Jun 29, 2018

"Protection Mtn / TV Peak, Stuart Knob, Castle Mtn North, Helena Ridge traverse; 32.5km / 12 hrs workout. Lots clouds and poor visibility (no views at all) but a very good training. Visited an old mine on a way up." — alexp • Aug 16, 2014
