It appears that different branches have been active over the years, and as new ones become favoured the older ones grow over and disappear into the forest floor.

On ridge line in clouds

Still just below tree line; attained a rocky outcrop on the ridge, however heavier rain starts so turned back here. There would surely be wonderful views at this location on a clear day. final muddy section before top on ridge line
