Comments: The great thing about trad climbs, particularly up at Thunder, is that they don't need to be "developed," as Josh mentioned. Just stick the gear and go if you don't like the bolts, they aren't stopping you. And be sure to have someone take pictures, the climb makes for great photography as it is, and the trad element would make it that much more spectacular.

Comments: Near classic! This route is on some of the most featured rock of the area.
BEWARE- there is a beehive in the dihedral around 10 feet to the right, you can hear them from the ground. I wouldn't deem it unclimbable, but when I climbed it, they frequently landed on me, although never stung. Regardless, it definitely made it a little harder to enjoy the route for what it is. So, aside from the listed gear above, consider a bee suit.

Comments: Great mixed route with two interesting cruxes. Very featured. You will need to put plenty of gear in before you get to the first bolt, and also between the two bolts. I'll post a picture soon.

Comments: Derek, I can see where you got that. To clarify, Phil and I climb a lot together, and I was just giving him crap on the hand drawn numbers (which there is nothing wrong with, as you said the picture is helpful). In fact, theres a good chance that when he took that picture, Kevin M. and I were there. If I didn't know him, and if I didn't know for sure the poster wouldn't take it seriously, it would have been a different comment.

Comments: Submitting directions would have that nasty little side effect of bringing people in there! We already have Shelf Road for that kind of climbing. My previous comment was an attempt to keep people from getting lost.
