The Emporer is continuous snow all the way to the valley floor. A large avalanche wiped out most of the trees below the apron, presumable this past winter. We didn't get a hard freeze the night before, but the snow held up fairly well. There was evidence of several recent wet slides in the bottom half of the couloir. Luckily the couloir doesn't get full sun hit real early, but I wouldn't want to be in the couloir later than noon. It is a LONG climb! Here is my You Tube photo montage of the climb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93l0-z31NL8 |
