Route Climbed: Via Mt. Sherman Summit Date Climbed: January 2004  Sucess!

Not too much to say about this little rock pile, but kind of a fun scramble to the top! Worth tagging if you are doing Sherman as well :)

Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: September 27, 1992  Sucess!

After starting in Iowa Gulch, my dog Logan and I first climbed Dyer. We then proceeded to the east toward Gemini. This ridge narrows quite nicely near the saddle and beyond, especially for mountains in this area of CO. After summitting Gemini, we continued south to Sherman, then to the Sherman/Sheridan saddle, and returned to the west down a sketchy trail to the car in Iowa Gulch.

Route Climbed: From Sherman Date Climbed: 11 Oct 2004  Sucess!

Slogged through the snow over to the peaks. Didn't see them until I was right underneath. Climbed to both of the summits before heading back to Sherman in the clouds.

Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek via Sherman Date Climbed: July 16, 2004  Sucess!

I climbed both peaks. There are some nice wildflowers on the Sherman-Gemini saddle. The clouds had largely broken up by this time, and there were great views all around. From here, I went back over Sherman and then on to Sheridan.

Route Climbed: Sacramento Creek via Sherman Date Climbed: 07/11/04  Sucess!

I wasn't particularly interested in coming over here from Sherman. I was kind of tired and knew it didn't really "count" as things go. But Bryan dragged me up here anyhow =) We only went up one of the twin summits...does that make us cheaters? Dunno, I'll have to ponder that one a while...

Route Climbed: Sacremento Creek via Sherman Date Climbed: 7/11/04  Sucess!

Hit Gemini after topping out on Sherman. A nice easy hike over to Gemini. Followed the trail up the southwest side and then traversed over to the northeast side to gain the summit. Seems the rock is a little better on the NE side.

Route Climbed: from Dyer Date Climbed: June 14, 2002  Sucess!

This was kind of a neat peak but I just didn't spend much time on it because the summit was so windy. Dyer is a much better peak however.

Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: 8-30-2001  Sucess!

Easy TH access and a recommended hike, make Gemini worth a visit. If your looking for a nice hike up a wide open grassy slope, try the East Ridge Route from Roach's 13er book, pg 88. There is no trail for this route, but route finding is obvious. You also can expect total solitude on this route. I thought the approach was very enjoyable, although the summit was as generic as they come. But I like mountains with nice approach's. I also enjoyed this mountain as much or more than some of the front Range 14er i had visited. Combine Gemini with Dyer Mountain and you can easily bust out two of Colorado's highest 100 with minimal effort.

Easy walk and only a few T-storms around to make things interesting.
