He'd gone up the direct route to the top intending to follow the loop around the ridge & down, but missed the sign and took the hunting track over the back. Didn't have a GPS app, compass or anything, thought he was still on the loop track. I guess he would have figured something wasn't right when the track disappeared, but he was woefully under-prepared for being caught out. In his defence, the sign is poorly placed and the hunting track is pretty heavily used.
