Climbed E ridge of Edith Cavell yesterday. Excellent conditions, did not use crampons or ice axe. The few snowpatches we stepped on on the route were soft but icy underneath. Warm temps, 11C at the parking lot at 3am, 7C at the bottom of the ridge later in the morning so no freeze whatsoever. Quiet up there -- one other party that must have started way earlier than us or biviied. We descended the same way. Rain showers began at about 4pm and continued until Canmore... Horrible traffic delays due to a bad accident north of Bow Summit meant we got home after midnight. Hopefully it's cleared up by now.
