The third day brings the ascent of the ramp — the geological inclined plane that provides the only non-technical route to the summit.

The ramp route is steep and can be challenging in wet conditions, but it is within the capability of hikers who are in reasonable physical condition and prepared for the effort.

The transition from the ramp to the summit plateau is marked by an abrupt change in landscape — from the tropical vegetation of the upper cliffs to the dark rock and specialized vegetation of the summit world.

The summit experience typically lasts one to two days, with camps established in sheltered areas of the plateau.
