<p>We turned around 20m below the top of the headwall on the 7 Steps. We had just cut out a couple of very small super low density slabs (10-20cm deep x 5-10m wide x 10-30m long) but the wind loaded snow (H2D) was getting deeper and I didn't want to go for a ride in an avalanche, even though we were only about 20 steps from safety.</p>
