Access Issue: Road & nearby private property & COVID-19 Closure - now open
Details
As of Nov. 6, 2020: per Johanna Jones: COVID-19 update: Thunder Ridge is open, although there are two considerations: 1) The landowners have asked climbers not to use their private road to enter Thunder Ridge. 2) As of July 1, 2020, all persons 18 and older must possess a valid Colorado HUNTING or FISHING LICENSE to access Colorado Parks and Wildlife land. THIS IS WHERE YOU PARK ON THIS LAND.
#2 is a little tricky considering the shoulder and the crag is on United State Forest Service land (Free), while the PARKING is on CPW land.

As of April 5th, the Pikes Peak Climber's Alliance announced that Thunder Ridge is CURRENTLY CLOSED due to COVID-19. Please respect this closure, and check in with PPCA on updates as COVID-19 stay at home orders and impacts reduce over the coming months.
Please do your best to maintain good relationships with the people who own the land in this area. Do not drive your vehicle past the "private property" sign. Do not go up to the house to ask for directions to the crag. Do not ride your bike down the road. Please move immediately to the side of the road if any landowners are approaching in their vehicles.

Description
This route starts on the wall to the right of and an unnamed Glenn Schuler route on a small ledge. Climb the blocky arete, with the Wild Overhang Wall and the chimney close to your left. You can enter the chimney for an easy rest or to place gear, but both are available on the face. After a roof, pull onto the Starlight Buttress to follow an obvious and exposed series of jugs left. Use long runners on gear at and below the start of the traverse to avoid rope drag. Continue left to a bolt and to meet up with the top of the adjacent route. Climb to one more bolt, then the anchors.
This route offers a good warm up to Starlight and Storm.
