cragged
Full of outcrops
Cragged means having crags—steep, rugged, projecting rocks.
The word describes rough, broken terrain or rocky outcroppings: cragged cliffs rose from the sea, the cragged peaks of the Scottish Highlands.
It's a less common variant of craggy, with the same meaning but a more literary or archaic feel.
