Emperor goes! Top to bottom fantastic conditions. Encountered sluff on the first pitch off Torreys summit. Skiable from the peak to the Bakerville exit parking lot ~2 PM. Bring crampons if you have them!

Just out of curiosity, did you see my footsteps from the day before your climb, or did they get filled in by the snow/etc from the storm and the wind? I'd guess the latter. Also, fun couloir for sure!

I know a bunch of snow is on the way but I'm curious if you have any pics so I can tell what type of base is up there. Thanks!

I think we saw your tracks on the approach to the base of Emperor, but we broke trail up the couloir.

Any beta on the condition of the Grizzly Gulch Rd? Is it snow covered/ did you drive up at all or start from I70? Thanks and congrats.
