Installing the new sign at the Thunder Ridge parking area. Check it out on your next visit. The landowner Mike is shown here. Mike and Julie are good neighbors to have and quite nice - just follow those rules to maintain climber access.

These signs assure your on the right path to the crag.

Please park here and do not drive down this road. The land owner is ok with climbers walking down his road, but please stay on the road.

Paradise....

Walking up to The Quarry @ Thunder Ridge.

V2s don't get much better than this. This block could host about 8 problems. <br>

The area beneath the brown wall has seen the most developement as far as bouldering goes. There are beautiful boulders all over the place, put on your adventure hat and find yourself a sweet line.

These signs assure your on the right path to the crag.

This is where you leave the private property. Go straight where the road turns right.

Please Don't Do This.<br>
