{{Quote|Those that looked up from afar thought that the mountain was crowned with storm. Thunder they heard, and lightning, they said, smote upon Celebdil, and leaped back broken into tongues of fire. Is not that enough? A great smoke rose about us, vapour and steam. Ice fell like rain.

The '''Battle of the Peak''' was the climax of the fight between [[Gandalf]] the Grey and the [[Balrog]] ([[Durin's Bane]]) atop [[Zirakzigil]] after they ascended the [[Endless Stair]] from the depths of [[Moria]].
  +
  +
== History ==
  +
  +
After their fight at the [[Bridge of Khazad-dûm]], Gandalf and the Balrog both fell into the deep chasm. Gandalf was burned by the Balrog's fire on the way down, then almost froze in the water at the bottom. He pursued his foe for days through dark tunnels, and then all the way up the [[Endless Stair]] to the top of [[Durin's Tower]] in the living rock of [[Zirakzigil]], where the two engaged in a two-day long battle at the pinnacle of the Silvertine above the clouds. They fought in a narrow space upon [[Celebdil]], above the mists of the world. The sun shone fiercely, but all below was wrapped in cloud, so that anyone watching from below would think they saw flashes from lightning and heard thunder. A great smoke of vapor and steam rose about them, and ice fell like rain.
  +
  +
There they fought until at last Gandalf threw down his enemy, and the Balrog broke the mountain-side as it fell. Then darkness took Gandalf, and he passed away. The battle had left Durin's Tower in ruins and caused the destruction of the Endless Stair. The entire battle, from the confrontation on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm to the mutual demise of the Balrog and Gandalf, had taken ten days. {{Campaignbox War of the Ring}}{{Quote|Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell.|Gandalf the White.}}
  +
  +
Gandalf's body lay on the peak for nineteen days, until he was resurrected by [[Eru]] and sent back to [[Middle-earth]] alive to complete his task. For three days he lay in a trance, until he was found by the Windlord [[Gwaihir]] and carried to Caras Galadhon in [[Lothlórien]], where he was healed and clothed in white, and thus became Gandalf the White, more powerful than ever before.<ref>''[[The Lord of the Rings]], [[The Two Towers (novel)|The Two Towers]],'' Book Three, Chapter V: "[[The White Rider (chapter)|The White Rider]]"</ref><ref>''[[The Complete Guide to Middle-earth]]''</ref><ref>''[[The Atlas of Middle-earth]],'' The Lord of the Rings, "Moria"</ref>

"Those that looked up from afar thought that the mountain was crowned with storm. Thunder they heard, and lightning, they said, smote upon Celebdil, and leaped back broken into tongues of fire. Is not that enough? A great smoke rose about us, vapour and steam. Ice fell like rain. I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin."
—Gandalf the White

The Battle of the Peak was the climax of the fight between Gandalf the Grey and the Balrog (Durin's Bane) atop Zirakzigil after they ascended the Endless Stair from the depths of Moria.

History

After their fight at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, Gandalf and the Balrog both fell into the deep chasm. Gandalf was burned by the Balrog's fire on the way down, then almost froze in the water at the bottom. He pursued his foe for days through dark tunnels, and then all the way up the Endless Stair to the top of Durin's Tower in the living rock of Zirakzigil, where the two engaged in a two-day long battle at the pinnacle of the Silvertine above the clouds. They fought in a narrow space upon Celebdil, above the mists of the world. The sun shone fiercely, but all below was wrapped in cloud, so that anyone watching from below would think they saw flashes from lightning and heard thunder. A great smoke of vapor and steam rose about them, and ice fell like rain.

There they fought until at last Gandalf threw down his enemy, and the Balrog broke the mountain-side as it fell. Then darkness took Gandalf, and he passed away. The battle had left Durin's Tower in ruins and caused the destruction of the Endless Stair. The entire battle, from the confrontation on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm to the mutual demise of the Balrog and Gandalf, had taken ten days.

Gandalf's body lay on the peak for nineteen days, until he was resurrected by Eru and sent back to Middle-earth alive to complete his task. For three days he lay in a trance, until he was found by the Windlord Gwaihir and carried to Caras Galadhon in Lothlórien, where he was healed and clothed in white, and thus became Gandalf the White, more powerful than ever before.[1][2][3]
