Description

South West facing, this small slab gets lots of sun which makes it especially nice in the winter. It also gets a fair amount of wind being higher up on the ridge. The slab portion is pocked with divots, perhaps the result of some gun-happy local. As with most Pena Blanca cliffs, beware loose rock.

Getting There

The Crown is easily seen from the Garden as the prominent slab wall near the top of the ridge. Hike past El Diablo Spire and continue all the way to the top.
