Description

The large slab left of Chapel Pond Slab. Ice here is relatively thin (think "R" and "X" routes) except in unusually thick years.

NOTE: Someone has put "Emerald Slabs" in as a route in the Chapel Pond Slab AREA, I'm not sure if they are referring to these slabs; but "Emperor Slab" has been the summer name for this slab for decades.

Getting There

Your Choice:
1) Park about 1/4 mile East of Chapel Pond parking and crash directly into the woods.

or...Climb Chapel Pond Slab and take the climber's left gulley for descent. About 200-300 ft down this, one can traverse out onto the right side of the Emperor Slab on it's right side.
