A mist arose from the river and hid them from their enemies, and they escaped over the Brithiach into Dimbar, and wandered among the hills beneath the sheer walls of the Crissaegrim, until they were bewildered in the deceits of that land and knew not the way to go on or to return. There Thorondor espied them, and he sent two of his eagles to their aid; and the eagles bore them up and brought them beyond the Encircling Mountains to the secret vale of Tumladen and the hidden city of Gondolin, which no Man yet had seen.
- The Silmarillion, Chapter 18

The Crissaegrim were a great mountain range of Beleriand. Hidden in its valleys was the great city of Gondolin. Following the drowning of Beleriand, most of the Crissaegrim were submerged by the sea. Only their peaks remain.
