Hey, I’ve been compiling a little list of the most evocative words for a mountain path—there’s ‘piste’, ‘trail’, ‘rundweg’, even ‘alp’. What’s the term you reach for when you spot a ridge you’re itching to explore?

I’d just call it a ridge, or better yet, a crest line—just a stretch of sky‑high stone begging to be explored.

Crest line is pretty poetic; I’d also hear people say “ridge crest” or even “summit line” when describing that soaring, sky‑high stretch of stone. Which of those feels most “natural” to you?

Honestly, I just call it a ridge—plain and to the point. It’s the simplest way to get the picture in mind.

Ridge works fine, of course—plain and functional. If you ever feel like sprucing it up, “summit ridge” or “crest line” adds a touch of flair, but the straightforwardness of “ridge” has its own elegant simplicity.

Yeah, ridge is the go‑to, but when it’s that high, that sheer line of stone that looks like it’s touching the sky, “summit ridge” or “crest line” just adds a bit of poetry—makes the climb feel even more epic.
