Yes it can be approached from Last Dollar Road from the west. Even a trail for the first portion of the climb. This is taken from my trip report.
"Starting Trailhead: Alder Creek Trail from Last Dollar Road."
"My wife and I found an excellent camping spot near the Alder Creek Trailhead off of Last Dollar Road and I set the alarm for 5:15 AM. It wasn't too brutal and I slept in a bit since the weather forecast was supposed to be perfect. After some breakfast, I was hiking down the Alder Creek Trail at 5:40 AM. Unfortunately, I lost about 100-200 feet elevation on the trail but the trail was easy to follow as it contoured around the western side of the Sneffels Range at ~10,400.
The level approach was nice for a change but it only made for a really steep climb. Unfortunately, the trees were thick and it was hard to determine the best place to climb up to the ridge. I did my best guess and started climbing upward. As soon as I was out of the trees, I found some problematic cliffs and I was beginning to wonder if this western approach was a bad idea.
After some scouting around, I found a weakness in the cliffs and was able to find a mellow section that took me to the ridge. Surprisingly, it wasn't a pile of junky San Juan talus and the climbing was rather enjoyable. I reached the ridge and headed north towards the unranked 12ver Hayden Peak. I was planning on climbing directly up the west face of Hayden Peak, but from the ridge I could tell that it was a talus mess and was thankful that my route worked out well.
I skirted around the south face of Hayden Peak to the Hayden - "S 10" saddle and proceeded up the class 2 northwest ridge of "S 10" where I arrived on the summit at 9:00 AM. The views to the west expanded for miles. I quickly descended down the east ridge and avoided some small towers to the south."
