Climbing and access information for this peak is on Page 257 of the book. The book details a route from Lake Creek. There are two additional routes given below. The Northeast Ridge Route is the recommended route for both this peak and Double U Peak. Updated July 2020
The Ramp is the 95th-highest Idaho Peak. It is one of the many peaks that surround the spectacular Lake Creek drainage. Climbing from Lake Creek will take you by trail to Round Lake in roughly 6.0 miles. The route is cross-country from there with the crux being getting above tree line through the lush forest. The shortest route to the summit is via the northeast ridge. USGS Smiley Mountain
