In briefanswer capsule

Aglon was a narrow passage separating Dorthonion from Himring’s western heights. Its western face rose in a hard climb; through the gap a harsh northern blast never failed. The opening also faced toward Doriath as an approach route. Celegorm and Curufin secured the gap by strong works and kept force there, ruling likewise Himlad farther south, the strip between Aros (born in Dorthonion) and Celon (from Himring).
