Abstract: The dead-end depth of an element of a group , with respect to a generating set , is the distance from to the complement of the radius closed ball, in the word metric defined with respect to . We exhibit a finitely presented group with a finite generating set with respect to which there is no upper bound on the dead-end depth of elements.
