Re: well, there you have it, no wings
When the balrogs attacked Gondolin, how did they scale the huge cliffs? Did they have wings to fly up and over the mountain or were they just extremely good climbers? It is hard for me to believe that the climbed because they seem to have made it from the top of the cliffs down to the city while the sun was setting.. right? Wouldnt that kind of speed require wings? Or am I just confused about the seige of Gondolin.. does it say anywhere how long it took to get to Gondolin from outside of the mountain surrounding the city?
