Mountain 1: Fellowship 0
What was, presumably to me on the first read, very unexpected was that at the end of this chapter, the mountain wins. We have our Fellowship meet their first real obstacle, and you'd think that Gandalf or one of the others would 'do something' that would let them pass over the mountains, but no. The Fellowship has to retreat.
Quite unexpected.
