Unable to answer "What’s the surface here?" – Path – https://osm.org/way/484397587 via StreetComplete_ee 58.2:

This path seems to not exist. On the photo I stand on the right path, on the right of the photo there is the left path and on the left of the photo there is the single path of the fork.
Where the non-existing path should be is just a steep climb.
