The Colorado Mountain Club is seeking volunteers to help carry lumber, shingles and other supplies from the Pikes Peak summit down approximately 3 miles to the A-frame on Saturday, Aug. 20, and Sunday, Aug. 21. The group will be re-shingling the roof, replacing front supports and painting the exterior and interior the weekend of Aug. 27-28.
When complete, all old material and trash will be packed back to the summit for disposal. Plans are to camp there each weekend. Volunteers can work just one day or camp overnight, and should bring tents, bags and personal gear.
This will not be an easy hike, carrying material from 14,115 feet to 11,664 feet and returning. Be sure you are physically fit enough to hike up/down the trail at altitude carrying your gear and supplies as needed.
To conserve parking at the top, carpooling will be planned and space coordinated at the A-frame to fit the group.
