I don't know whether it was driver error or if your clutch slipped due to an issue with the clutch, but either way the burning smell is something you want to avoid but its no biggie if it happens once.
When i was learning to drive stick in my Tiburon, uphill, i "rode" the clutch as i went up this hill and you could smell it

I understand.. But I have been driving since I was 14 years old, I am 41 now. Learned how to drive a clutch first. I have never had a clutch slip that bad until i was about 130k miles on my 99 Eclipse GST. I have never smelled that either. Im not used to a clutch doing anything bad until at least 50-60k miles on it. And I thought I knew how to pop the clutch just fine from a stand still.. I wish I could go back and see what i did wrong..
Maybe it was because I just drove the car 7 straight hours from Tahoe? I dont know.
