Adaman Mural
Honoring the Frozen Five of yore.
We were selected as one of the artists to create a mural for the AdAmAn Alley, a placemaking with Downtown Colorado Springs to celebrate 100 years of the AdAmAn Club.
Since 1922, members of the AdAmAn Club, a nonprofit organization, ascend Pikes Peak each Dec. 30–31, igniting a glorious fireworks display atop the peak at midnight on New Year’s Eve for all to enjoy for miles around.

The AdAmAn Club provided a comprehensive archive of photos and information about their 100 year history of climbing the peak, including the sheet music to a marching song that was written for the club earlier in it’s history. That song celebrated the original five men who ascended the peak in 1922, otherwise known as the “Frozen Five”.
Live true to the memory
Of those frozen five of yore
Whose deeds made tradition
That will live forever more.
Taking inspiration from the classic WPA National Parks posters we created an illustration based on a composite of the vintage photography of those early ascents which included a vintage-style climbing badge featuring some of the lyrics of the chorus of the song.
