A narrow mountain pass between Ered Gorgoroth to the west and Himring to the east. It was of strategic importance since it joined Himlad and Lothlann, being an eastern passage from Angband to the main Beleriand. It was guarded by Celegorm and Curufin but during the Dagor Bragollach of Y.S. 455 Aglon was breached and the brothers fled to Nargothrond. Some time later (around 469) Maedhros recovered it, but it was again left unguarded when he fled after the Nírnaeth Arnoediad.
