The Mountain picked to bear the name of the Great "JRR"
was was not picked at random. it's location between the lost Tolkien Mountains in the Earl Mountain Range to the West and the film location of Isengard to the East is well chosen.
Better still it is on New Zealand's Premier Scenic Highway and can be ascended by an averagely fit person.
It also consists of a previously named peak "Consolation Peak" so it is not adding a name to the unspoiled Wilderness.
This is Ironic as the Tolkien Mountain, if adopted it will be a consolation to the whole lost Tolkien Mountain story.
The clincher though has to be that the Mountain sits on what the Official Geology Maps call "the Gondorian Formation" named after a City State from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
so inside the Mountain is in-fact pure Tolkien!
