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
Bucking Chute is wrangled dead center between the Rodeo and Slippery Nipple on the right side of the Quarry Wall. Start by laying-back a left facing bulging crack to a horizontal undercling. Make some exciting chicken-head mantle combo moves to the crack that diverts from Slippery Nipple. Slippery Nipple line departs right shortly before Bucking Chute meets the prominent lie-back crack that splits the right Quarry Wall. Follow the crack until it ends and then follow the three bolt line through exciting slab moves. Continue up through a roof protected by a #2 or #3 camalot and go to the Slippery Nipple anchor.
Location
Follow the trail to the Quarry Wall, and immediately upon reaching the wall, the route will start just left of Slippery Nipple. The starting crack is left of the huge, steel mining bolt below the lieback crack.
