Do you think the balrog knew of the existence of an elven realm next to Moria? Would a creature as mighty as a balrog be kept out of the wood by the same girdle?
Galadriel was, most certainly, one tough adversary to match for the balrog, since the balrog had fallen before when facing powerful elven lords… What could he do against the mightiest of the eldar (putting aside Luthien and equal to Feanor)? And an eldar with a power boost (Nenya)?
