I don't know why so many people are so clear cut about a turnback being a BAD IDEA always.

I recall one departure from Antwerp. It is "only" 1510m, but I was at nearly 1000ft by the time I crossed the end of the runway (it was quite windy).

I think that the biggest risk in a turnback under those conditions would be to overshoot the whole airport

So much depends...
