Gromfelt scratched his bread. Erebor. The one place he thought he'd never see again, and now he was heading to save it. Bali had given them two opinions on how they should reach the Lonely Mountain before it was overwhelmed.
The Gap of Rohan or Caradhras. He'd been by the Gap of Rohan before. The going was slow and in his heart he thought that it could not give them the speed they needed. Then there was Caradhras. He had no desire to head into snowy passes. Nor felt any need to risk the whole company on the mountain side ridge. But somehow... He knew Rohan couldn't serve.
Then one of the men spoke up,"For the sake of Erebor, we should take Caradhras" He hadn't been listening before but this got his attention.
That man was a Dunedain. The company was strong, they needed the speed. He made up his mind. No mountain yet had conquered Gromfelt son of Dwelfelt.
"Well then," He said at last. "Caradhras it is."
