We sort of moved along at a good clip after that, came across another whiff of the smell further up that was considerably weaker, as though it was starting to fade.

We warned another hiker we met at the top and headed back down about an hour later. We did not hear, smell or see anything on the way back. But I was concerned.
Wampus cat.
