The Pikes Peak AdAmAn Club has been a tradition since 1922. It is a unique group of mountaineers, who each year on December 30th and 31st, climb the icy slopes of Barr Trail on the east face of world famous Pikes Peak. The Club is dedicated to the memory of the original five guys that thought it would be more fun to climb a cold mountain than dance with a warm girl (or so I’ve been told). At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, they launch a spectacular fireworks display, which on a clear night, can be seen for hundreds of miles along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies and eastern plains. A number of four-wheel drive clubs have banded together to bring the hikers back down. For that info I was put in touch with Larry. We had a nice chat and I learned that climbing Pike Peak is only one part of the AdAmAn Club experience. I was given the very unique opportunity of being invited to ride up and down with the 4-wheel drive folks and experience the light show from the top. Thanks Larry!!!
