Description

Tharkh Baraz (Khuzdul for Red Pass) (Cirith Caradhras in Sindarin) was once the most traveled of the passes over the three peaks above Khazad-dûm. The pass leads over Barazinbar, Caradhras or Redhorn, into the old elf-lands of Eregion. The way was shut to the dwarves during the Sixth War of Dwarves and Orcs by the orc-camp of Zaghûth, blocking any northern reinforcements until the orcs can be ousted. The way up to the pass still provides a stunning view of the falls of Anlakh-zeleg.
