A gap in an arête refers to a break or opening in a sharp ridge formed by the erosion of surrounding rock. Arêtes are typically created through glacial activity, where glaciers carve out valleys on either side of the ridge. The gap can provide a passage for hikers or animals and often signifies a transition point between different geological or ecological zones. It may also indicate areas of weakness in the rock formation.
