I can't expand on what any of you have said except with this point; Sauruman didn't have any control over Caradhras, Khroa, when passing the mountain in question, Boromir says: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "I wonder if this is a contrivance of the Enemy, They say in my land that He can govern the storms in the Mountains of Shadow that stand upon the borders of Mordor. He has strange powers and many allies." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> So it may have been Sauron commanding the fell winds, or it could have been the mountain itself; <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "Caradhras was called the Cruel," said Gimli, "long years ago, when rumour of Sauron had not been heard in these lands" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "It was no ordinary storm. It is the ill will of Caradhras, he does not love Elves or Dwarves and that drift was laid to cut off our escape" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>So Caradhras itself could have been an evil spirit.
