while I scrambled through the overgrowth

Hello,

What does "Scrambling through the overgrowth" mean in the following sentence?

Somewhat recovered, Otto took to the branches while I scrambled through the overgrowth, making sure to shuffle my feet so I wouldn’t step on any wasp nests or vipers or millipedes.

It's a little bit of an oddball in that undergrowth is the usual term in contemporary American English. On the other hand, Shrefer is a highly respected and successful professional writer, so I cannot say he is wrong. Beyond that, all you need is a dictionary.
