Gendarme (mountaineering)

A gendarme is a pinnacle of rock on a mountain ridge. They are typical of alpine areas. Gendarmes often form on the intersection of two ridges due to the lower erosion of glaciers here.^[1] The name originates from the French Alps, where they were seen as resembling the gendarmerie police. ^[2]^{[self-published source]}
