After a while the tree-banked slope of the castle rock loomed above us.

The steep slope to the left loomed above us; it scared me almost as much as the dropaway cliff below us to the right.

A long steep slope of red slick-rock sandstone loomed ahead.

The rocky slopes of Anthony's Nose loom ahead.

The slope ahead of them loomed vague and indistinct through mist swirls.

The mist suddenly became a huge, towering moun- tain-range whose precipitous slopes loomed thousands of feet above them.

Ever nearer the tree-clad slopes of Fangorn loomed, slowly darkling as the sun went west.

Far in the distance loomed the purple slopes of Fugiwara, wreathed now in a gentle haze.

The western slopes loom over Queenstown, and in winter are regularly covered in snow.
