Runaway Truck Ramp is a sport climbing area in the Powder River Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. It sits among several other climbing spots, including Cheese Roof and Grand Parade, both about a tenth of a mile away, and the Forest Service manages the surrounding land. The climbing here is sport only, with five routes ranging from 5.10c to 5.13a. Among them are Last Exit to Cheyenne at 5.10c, Dry Wall 57 at 5.11a and I-80 at 5.13a. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall stand out. A nearby weather station records typical averages of 69°F highs and 42°F lows in May, and 76°F highs and 46°F lows in September. The station sits about 1,400 feet below the ramp, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Leigh Creek Campground is about 1.5 miles away and Tensleep Creek is about 2.8 miles away. Boulder Park Campground is about 5 miles off, and Salt Lick Trail is roughly 3.3 miles away.
