I parked east of the peak and hiked up the Pine Canyon Rd. to the trail, then took the trail about 1 1/2 miles before heading off trail up the north slope of Crown. At first it was steep but easier due to climbing up the wash and a solid rock face, but towards the summit the vegetation got thicker. It was a fun climb though, and offered great views of the Chisos Moutains, and further south into Big Bend and Mexico. I also tried Crown Mt. west for the second time, this time trying the south side, but there was nothing there that I could climb up.
