The Peril

Crown of Thorns

This route begins about seventy-five feet above “End of The World” at a dying brown bush. You’ll know you’re getting close to the start when you pass the free-hanging piton just below. Once on the bushy platform, traverse the stalactites until you reach the pinnacle of the Dome’s foundation
