Unable to locate trail shortly after this point due to fresh windblown snow, so headed up a bare scree slope to regain old trail.

Scrambler’s decision tree sign at top of trail – V-shaped gully behind Kona used to have a large tree log at the base to scramble down a steep cliff section after rock climbing the slabs to the right. Wonder if it’s still there?
