The arch is in place and the AdAmAn Alley project is nearing completion! Set to be unveiled at a grand opening on November 29th, the activated alley pays tribute to Pikes Peak and the AdAmAn Club’s first climb up the Peak in 1922. With several artistic and interactive features, the alley will transport visitors to Barr Trail and allow them to peek into the past. Final touches on the alley are being finished, including this steel arch depicting the Frozen 5, the original AdAmAn climbers to brave the summit in 1922, which was recently installed in the alley entryway facing Pikes Peak.
