Just a quick note to let everyone know that the climber's trail is indeed still there and in very good shape (we were up there August 2, 2007). Basically, if at any point, you don't feel like you are obviously on a well travelled path, backtrack and look for a missed turn. Steep, brutal even, but always obvious.
BTW, the glacier to the base of the East Ridge route was fairly straightforward, with only one tight section of ice going through the icefall, and some moderately large crevasses higher up.
