Thanks
It was kind of weird. . . . At first I thought it had something to do with Anfauglith, but realised that the name had nothing to do with the battle and the "camp" thing was just a bad guess. Which battle took place at the highest location?

Hmm, maybe Gandalf's battle with the Balrog on Zirakzigil, eh?

I am looking for a specifick name for the battle. . .
No googling! (although I don't think there is anything wrong with reading through the books to find the answer)

Heck, I don't know how it is in English.
 But I know how it is named in Czech, would that suffice?  Anyway, it would be something like Battle on the Top or Battle on the Spire, maybe?

Okay, I don't have the books here right now, so I looked it up on the net. But I don't consider that cheating because I knew what the name is, just not from the original books, and it's not my fault that in fact it's one level more difficult for me to write the right answer (in fact, it's a handicap, because even when I know the name in one language, I still need to look it up in English). Battle of the Peak.

hahaha
It is incredible what excuses people use to convince them selves that they have not bent the rules. . .  Have you never read LotR in English? I mean we are many who have another first language than English and at times only remember the answer in our first language. . . anyways take it away, if nobody else had answered tonight I would have handed the thread over to you anyways.
