Wind loaded West aspect failed about 2’ down to the old suncrust from a few weeks ago. I did not recognize the wind loading in this area (until of course it failed when I started my decent). Odd to have wind loading in that spot, but in hindsight I should have recognized it considering how the top of the high point was scoured. It ran almost full path, about 800’ snapping a lot of branches and small trees along the way. Wind loaded West aspect failed about 2’ down to the old suncrust from a few weeks ago
