Description

Cirith Caradhras, the Redhorn Pass, is a narrow and dangerous road that winds it's way through the Misty Mountains beneath the mountains of Caradhras and Celebdil, allowing passage from Eregion in Eriador to the Dimrill Dale and beyond, in Rhovanion. Fierce winds and storms often pervade these treacherous peaks, and it also serves as paths for various dangerous creatures. While this main stretch of the Redhorn Pass is often inaccessable to regular travel, it can be traversed in one particular mission (see below).
