Near Redhorn Gate 
  The steep path winds its way up to the pass.  The snow piles into small
drifts here where it isn't ankle-deep.  The cliff looms above you to the
north as high as the chasm on the south side of the path is deep.  The rubble
partially blocking the path is slick with ice.  To the east the path 
continues up to the top of the pass, known as Redhorn Gate.  The snowdrifts
seem to be deeper in that direction.  To the west the path descends to warmer,
friendlier climes.

The brush around you roars with the fury of several wildly blazing fires!

In the Mountains 
  The path runs between a deep gorge and an overhanging cliff here.  Boulders
and smaller rocks litter the path.  The air chills you to your bones as some
snowflakes drift down, collecting into small drifts along the edge of the
gorge. The steep path seems to climb forever to the east but starts leveling
out to the west.
