I just ran across this: concerning Amon Darthir: '... over whose shoulder there was a steep pass. By this the hardy could cross Ered Wethrin and come down by the wells of Glithui into Beleriand' The Children of Húrin also notes:
'He trusted that Ered Wethrin was a wall insurmountable, both against escape from the north and against assault from the south; and there was indeed no other pass, for the unwinged, between Serech and far westward where Dor-lómin marched with Nevrast.' The Departure Of Túrin
This seems notable in any case, especially considering the first movements of the Noldor, and the movements of the Noldor into Beleriand.
