jagged peaks
Serrated mountain tops
Jagged peaks are mountain summits with sharp, irregular edges and pointed ridges, shaped by glacial erosion or fractured rock.
The phrase evokes dramatic alpine scenery—the kind seen in the Rockies, Alps, or Himalayas: The trail offered views of jagged peaks rising above the tree line.
Often used to suggest wild, untamed wilderness.
