Wikipedia definition
3. Mountain pass​A mountain pass (also gap, notch, col, saddle, hause, bwlch, brennig or bealach) is a route through a mountain range or over a ridge. If following the lowest possible route, a pass is locally the highest point on that route. Since many of the world's mountain ranges have presented formidable barriers to travel, passes have been important since before recorded history, and have played a key role in trade, war, and migration.
