In briefanswer capsule

Cabed-en-Aras is a deep Teiglin chasm, so confined a fleeing hart could spring across. Glaurung rested on its upper brink when Turambar, informed at Nen Girith, fixed on that spot. After nightfall he would drop into the ravine, pass the torrent, and climb the far face under the beast. Dorlas abandoned the dark ford; Turambar and Hunthor got over while the water's noise hid them and the dragon still slept.
