Descended the N side of 4068. A member of the party immediately triggered a small soft slab directly below the ridge, which failed across a small rock outcrop and ran less than 45 ft. The weak slabs immediately broke up and acted similar to a dry loose slide. No other signs of instability were observed, soft snow all the way down.
