East Ridge of Mt Edith Cavell is in great shape as of yesterday.  The lower snow/ice gullies can be passed on rock on the left.  An ice axe is still neccessary for a few short sections near the summit.  Most parties used crampons as well to keep things simple.  West ridge descent is bare and dry, runners were nice to have for the trail out.
