Access
To access this peak, use the Warm Lake/Landmark/Stanley Road (FS-22/579), which runs across the Salmon River Mountains between ID-55 and ID-21, to reach Landmark, Idaho [(C)(1) on Page 138]. The town of Landmark is no longer in existence but there is a large airstrip just north of the road. Leave Landmark on FS-477/Burnt Log Road [(C)(1.4) on Page 140]. Follow Burnt Log Road north for just over 4.0 miles to the signed junction for Artillery Dome Road/FS-477E (not discussed in the book). Turn right and follow this 4WD road east to Peak 8681.
South Ridge, Class 2
Peak 8681 can easily be climbed through open forest from anywhere along Artillery Dome Road. The South Ridge is the recommended route and is mostly open. Park in the saddle at the base of the ridge and walk to the summit.
