Memories
Memories From First Climb
At the age of 15 years old, i made my first climb with the Adaman Club. Our direction was to hike towards the front of the group and help break trail. All able guests were encouraged to drop off their back packs in the summit house and head back down mountain to assist and slower climbers. The fireworks were hand lit with a highway flare.
Memories From First Member Year
On my climb as new member in 1992, I was able to have the last bonfire we had at AdAmAn point north of Barr camp. After this time, we had camp fires closer to Barr camp, then not at all.
Memories of Family
Father Bob Stafford as a member and officer of the club. He made 40 climbs with the club. Climbing with him, my brother and brother in-law.
