Also known as: The Pass Of The Spider
The Spider's Pass, the high secret way over the Mountains of Shadow into Mordor, climbing by the Winding Stair and the Straight Stair above Minas Morgul. Its tunnel is the lair of Shelob, last child of Ungoliant, whom the orcs call Her Ladyship; Gollum led Frodo to her on purpose. Above it stands the orc-tower where Frodo was held, and from which Sam — briefly a Ring-bearer himself — rescued him.
