Caradhras Rose Before Them

The Fellowship on their march through the mountains, seeing the peak of Caradhras / Redhorn for the first time. They won't be able to cross the pass and they will soon lose Gandalf in the mines of Moria so I tried to keep the atmosphere of impending doom. ⠀

''The air was chill again; already the wind was turning back towards the east. For two more nights they marched on, climbing steadily but ever more slowly as their road wound up into the hills, and the mountains towered up, nearer and nearer. On the third morning Caradhras rose before them, a mighty peak, tipped with snow like silver, but with sheer naked sides, dull red as if stained with blood.''⠀
