Pike's peak is about 14200 ft tall. Colorodo spring is at about 7000 ft ( Phoenix is at 1100 ft) from sea level. So it was a lot of climbing. Half of this narrow road if paved and rest of it is simple dirt.
It was a cloudy day with little sun light. The temperature at the colorodo springs was 65 degree when i started climbing. To my surprise the temperature at the peak summit was 32 degree. A difference of 30 degrees. It was very cold and windy on the top.
The park ranger told me that the temperature reaches ( minus) -75 degrees in the winter with winds blowing at speeds greated than 100 mph. Because of that, there were no windows in the buildings at the summit.
I had taken several pictures along the way to the summit.
