How to figure out the ridge line/curve on a terrain

[microvswind]

Hi gurus .here is a terrain .and i want to figure out the ridge line/curve . so that i can scatter geo along the ridge . 

may you kind guys could give me some suggestion and tips .

Thnaks in advance

@microvswind Combine those 2 Algorithms (Just take Height (To Cops and Back) You only need Highest Value .. I think

@Librarian  appreciated for you suggestion and links . but i have no anyknowledge of python .still struggle .

you can use Find Shortest Path SOP and make it prioritize convex curvature areas 

since it's a bit ambiguous where should the ridges start and end you will need to provide a hint like start and end positions

here is an example of specifying start and end positions using simple curves and it will try to find the best path following ridges, if it doesn't you can always define long paths by multiple shorter ones
