In briefanswer capsule

The Crissaegrim are peaks south of Gondolin that hold Thorondor’s nesting place. From there he flew when Morgoth had killed Fingolfin and prepared to fling the body to wolves. Thorondor scarred Morgoth’s face, lifted the High King in his claws, and carried him to a summit facing north over Gondolin’s secret vale. Turgon afterward built a burial mound for his father on that height.
