Ring wraiths vs. Balrogs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It is an assumption, I give you that, but when they had to choose between an Elf-lord with a torch and water, I think they would have chosen the river.

And it says specifically, that not even Glorfindel and Aragorn on foot could have withstand the Nine. I think it means that they had to let the wraiths pass, because they could not move as quickly as they, nor fight all of them at one time when on foot. Gandalf says that the only hope was for Glorfindel's horse to save Frodo, which means that they could only save Frodo with speed. I am not convinced that the Ring-wraiths, even all nine of them, are cooler than a balrog.
