Plural of crag; steep, rocky cliffs or peaks, especially those with jagged edges.
Plural form of 'crag' from Middle English, with Old Norse origins. The simple 's' pluralization became standard in English, and this remains the most common way to refer to multiple rocky formations.
Famous mountain regions like Scotland and Wales use 'crags' extensively in place names—'Scafell Crag,' 'Helvellyn Crags'—because these regions are geologically dominated by jagged rock formations that climbers know intimately.
