I haven't climbed the east ridge of Cavell this year, nor have I heard any
reports yet. I took a photo of the east ridge from Lost Boys crag yesterday
(attached). It looks like the bulk of the snow is gone from the ridge, and the
summit ridge is still snowy. It looks to be in climbing shape, with an axe,
crampons, and watching out for cornices on the summit ridge.
