#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 rope-stretching pitch provides everything Valhalla can offer: Thunder Ridge 'gator skin, chickenheads, and an improbable, overhanging ending on the biggest jugs you could dream of...all while being protected with bomber trad gear.
Start below a steep section of patina, climbing straight up to the first and only bolt. Trend left through the featured rock, finding placements within the edges of the alligator-skin-like rock. Above, stay left of the shallow crack, utilizing slings to protect giant chickenheads and cams in the horizontals. As you near the final headwall, trend right of the left-facing dihedral, tackling the steep face directly. A final, 45 degree crux, that protects well with finger-sized pieces, must be surmounted to clip the anchors.
