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 is a "sporty" route that tackles the face/arĂȘte to the right of the small gully. A single bolt protects the face, and decent gear can be found higher to the left in the gully. One more bolt near the top protects the overhanging crux, after which the steepness keeps increasing. The top is juggy, but pumpy, and some of the rock is dubious...a fall here could have serious consequences.
Location
30 feet to the right of Lator Gator, this route climbs right of the gully. Start far right and traverse left towards the rounded arĂȘte. Be careful of the large blocks on a ledge about ~20 feet up and in the gully when climbing and pulling your rope.
