Those in Colorado Springs will want to be sure they look to the sky come midnight on New Year’s Eve to spot a spectacle like no other – fireworks exploding above Pikes Peak.

The 101st rendition of a New Years classic, the AdAmAn Club will be headed to the mountain’s 14,115-foot summit under winter conditions, leaving the Barr Trail trailhead behind on December 30 to put on a show for those in the city below the following day.

They’ll set off at 2:30 p.m., reaching Barr Camp within several hours, where they’ll rest up for the night.

The following morning – at about 7:30 a.m., they’ll head to the Pikes Peak summit, aiming to reach the top of the mountain by 2:30 p.m.

Fireworks will be wired up around 6 p.m. in preparation to launch a first round at 9 p.m. in commemoration of the Frozen Five – the original five climbers involved in the long-standing tradition.

Then, at midnight, the larger firework display will blast off.

The group will then take the Cog Railway down from the summit, arriving in Manitou Springs around 2 a.m.

On a clear night, the show hard to miss. Just make sure you have a clear view of Pikes Peak, towering above Colorado Springs.

A total of 106 members have been officially inducted into the club – including the Frozen Five – since its founding in 1922, many of whom have been pioneers and influential members of the mountaineering community. In addition to those 106 members, there are seven honorary members and 20 associate members that have been inducted over the past century. Joining the club is a difficult process, with generally one new member accepted each year with the exception of 1930, when two members were accepted as members 12.5 and 13.5 to avoid having a member be inductee number 13.
