Eredmith

The grey Mountains

Length: 780 miles, from Gundabad in the west to the Withered Heath and the Emyn Engrin in the east.
Elevation: average peak elevation: 5,000-7.000 feet.lowest peak: Khelor-dornal ( K h . ?) 3,642 feet. highest peak: Gondmaeglom (S. "Stone of Sharp Echoes") 10,720 feet.
Climate: average annual precipitation: 60-80 inches. mean annual temperature. 2 5 - 3 5 ° F average low. N i n u i - 1 5 ° F average high. U n i i 7 5 ° F
Composition: The Ered Mithrin is composed of the coarse grey limestone which is common in northern Rhovanion. Caverns filled with glistening rock formations and subterranean pools reward the adventuresome spclunker. A Dwarven expedition in the Second Age found some gold deposits near the Withered Heath, but they were forced to flee when they woke a dragon which lived in the vicinity. Near Angmar, at the western end of the range, and in the Iron Hills far to the east, great deposits of ores rich in iron and lead may be found.

Notes: Elvish scholars claim that the Ered Mithrin were once part of the Ered Engrin, which guarded the realm of Morgoth in the First Age. although they are surely less formidable than those legendary peaks. The Grey Mountains are the home to many Orcs, Trolls, and Dragons. Two arms of this chain form the basin known as the Withered Heath, and the southern of these may be considered contiguous with the Iron Hills.Very few trees can be found on the slopes. Only mosses and lichens can endure the harsh climate and sporadic bursts of Dragon-fire. Though the Ered Mithrin are 6,000 feet tall and are usually capped with ice throughout the year, passage across the mountains is fairly easy in a number of level passes. However, the numerous hostile creatures in the area give one littlereason to cross the range at all. Rumors spread by wandering Dwarves hint at rich deposits of gold and gems near the Withered Heath, yet none are so foolish as to follow them. Certainly, the coffers of the Witch-king receive much of the gold mined in the Ered Mithrin.

While hardly the mightiest of Middle-earth's mountain ranges, the Grey Mountains (S. "Ered Mithrin") were nonetheless a daunting wall. By the local standards they rose like jagged peaked Giants, some reaching over 7000 feet in elevation. All were snow-capped in winter, and some retained their white crowns throughout the year. The southern face of the chain was virtually sheer, making entry difficult for the traveler. Virtually untouched (except by Dwarven miners) the region abounded with wildlife. On the northern side, the Ered Mithrin rose relatively gradually from the rolling plains and broken hills of the Waste. Unlike the southern face of the range, this side presented no sheer mountain wall. Instead, glaciers cascaded down narrow U-shaped valleys and spawned tumults of cold water which found their way north to the Encircling Sea. Stands of fir lined the middle slopes of the more sheltered valleys. Deep glacial lakes dotted the countryside, while loose scree—the crushed rock churned up by the seasonal movements of iceflows—impeded travel in many areas.
