Excellent choice for a peak this time of year. In case anyone's interested, I made an informational page on Summit Post for this peak:
Painted Mountain aka Red Mountain
I'll add a link for your report to my page.
Here are some photos I got of Bryan there last summer:
Another great January trip. The conditions coming down were amazing--springlike on the old hard snow, then fall-like on the dry trail. If the temps had been a bit warmer, it would have felt like summer--in January. Can't remember ever experiencing that before. Another destination I would not have really considered in winter, but the conditions (and iron's steps) made it a relatively easy trip.
The Painted Traverse looks very tempting--maybe this summer...
