Skinned up and skied down the southeast face solo May 13, 2018. Road was melted for a mile or so then mostly continuous snow to the summit. Took an extra short lap off the NE side as well while waiting for the SE slopes to soften. 3rd summit of this one overall.
Winter snowshoe of the southeast slopes March 15, 2020 for ascent #4.

West ridge
A slightly contrived but fun way to do an otherwise unmemorable peak. It's way more interesting and pleasant than the standard power line route. Mini trip report.

Dyer Mountain
Kessler (my 12 year old son), I, and six other climbers (including on 13 year old) met in the morning to climb Dyer Mountain from the Leadville side. Kessler and I had to stay up late the night before, so we left at 3:45 AM, but were delayed on the road, so didn't reach the trailhead until 7 AM.
There were four skiers and four snowshoers. We all made steady progress up Iowa Gulch and into the Iowa Amphitheater. Once the sun hit the slopes of the mountain, it was intense! We applied sunscreen several times throughout the day, but Kessler and I still got too much sun.
We climbed the southwest sloped up to the summit ridge, which was followed to the summit. The day was sunny and bright and the views were nice.
Four people brought skis and the other four glissaded down.
It was a great climb, but the road at the end of the descent seem to drag on forever, at least on snowshoes.

Sacramento Creek Trailhead. Did Pennsylvania Mountain first then continued on to Evans-B. Climbed the class 3 (if you stay on ridge crest) connecting ridge to Dyer Mountain. Was also going to pick up Gemini and Sherman, but a storm blew in.

made a loop with Gemini and Sherman. Nothing too exciting but a good way to acclimate or something to do if you are short on time. If I lived in Colorado, I would save this for a winter ascent
