#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
The route's name comes from the Haas book on South Platte Climbing: Thunder Ridge and Turkey Rock edition.
Start with a bulging #2 crack right above the bush on the ledge. After pulling the first block, moved right up a zig-zagging, right-angled crack into brief 4th Class. Then, moved into the slab that got increasingly more sparse and difficult. I was happy to have offset nuts and alpine draws.
Location
This route begins on a ledge about 30 feet climber's right of The Slot. There is a bush in the ledge where the crack runs vertical.
