The Crown Cluster is a bouldering area in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, within the Skykomish Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington. The Forest Service manages the land, and the cluster sits among several other climbing areas, including Great Slab and Fern Gully Cluster, both about 0.1 mile away. The area is a cluster of six boulder problems, all rated between V0 and V3 on the V scale. The routes include D.E.E.P. and D.E.E.P. Slab at V0, The Crown and The Thrown at V1, D.E.E.P. Dyno at V2, and The Crown Center at V3. The bouldering is the focus here, and the cluster pairs easily with the nearby Fern Gully Cluster and Great Slab. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Stampede Pass weather station, about 35 miles away, show July and August highs near 68 to 69°F with only seven or eight wet days a month, while winter months bring highs around 32°F and rain on 20 days. The Iron Goat Trail is about 1.4 miles away, and the Grace Lakes Cat Track, a cross-country ski route, is about 1.7 miles off. Paddlers can reach the Tye River about 2.2 miles away, and Evergreen Mountain Lookout offers camping about 8.2 miles from the cluster.
