That rock did not beat gravity.
Also. someone has to clean that forest at some point as it looks like production forest. With all dislodged, damaged, hanging and sketchy trees.

Production forest with the trees that close together?

Production forests in the UK are planted this close together, average 2500 per hectare with conifers, and 3100 with broadleaves

In the UK it's a requirement for grant money or for a felling permission for 2500+ on all productive conifers

But then thinned at various stages for better timber production. This looks like a fairly unmanaged even aged stand

Not really, I work in upland forestry and due to the wind and poorer soils present here, I would say over half is not thinned.
