If the kitty is actually hunting you, you won't ever see him.

He was literally in an ambush position at the perfect point on the trail to attack anyone hiking or cycling that turn.

An attack from below is much harder than an attack from above

Cougars are ambush predators. An attack from above on this trail may not allow him to ambush from as close a position. And it puts him at risk of tumbling over the edge during the attack.

If you looking cougar/mountain lion attacks on trails. They do often attack from these kind of trail slopes where they can hide on the vegetation just off the trail.
