Fireworks delivered to Pikes Peak summit for New Year’s tradition

The AdAmAn Club will embark on its 94th climb to the summit of Pikes Peak Wednesday morning.

Since 1922, members of the club have made the trek to the summit to fire a midnight blast of fireworks to help the Pikes Peak Region ring in the new year.

A trailer packed with fireworks has already been delivered to the summit.

The club will leave the Barr trailhead at 9 a.m. Wednesday. The climbers will spend the night at Barr Camp and arrive at the summit Thursday afternoon.

As part of a long tradition, they will exchange mirror flashes with Colorado Springs from timberline. The flashing will start around 10:30 a.m. Thursday, weather permitting.

The club will shoot off five fireworks at 9 p.m. on New Year’s Even in honor of its first five members. The rest of the fireworks will be fired off at midnight.
