Wailing Alps

The Wailing Alps is the tallest mountain in Ninjago. According to Zane, it is three leagues and twenty-eight fathoms."Peak-a-Boo" It is the only area high enough for one to reach the Blind Man's Eye, though a vehicle of some kind is required to ascend it due to its unstable slopes. Near its summit, the Hanging Temple is constructed.
==History==
The Wailing Alps were one of the wonders created by the First Spinjitzu Master. As part of their father's training, Wu and Garmadon travelled to the alps to admire the view.The Book of Spinjitzu
===Peak-a-Boo===
Needing to access the Cloud Kingdom through the Blind Man's Eye, Morro, Bansha, Ghoultar, and Soul Archer traversed up the Wailing Alps in order to use its massive peak to reach the entrance. However, the ninja, following in their individual mechs, attracted the attention of the four Ghost Warriors, forcing Bansha to unleash a sonic scream and trigger an avalanche that destroyed three of their mechs and nearly killing the protagonists. However, her efforts would be for naught when the ninja, with the aid of Cole, managed to traverse the mountain in record time once more and catch up to the Ghosts, battling at the Hanging Temple. Eventually, with Blind Man's Eye passing over the peak, the ninja used Airjitzu to access the Cloud Kingdom, leaving the mountain.
===Kingdom Come===
Exiting from Blind Man's Eye and escaping the pursuing Ghost Warriors, the ninja would take advantage of the downward slope to slide down on their stolen Cloud Kingdom boat, eventually riding on its fragments after it was shattered by a stone jutting out of the mountain. Meeting initial conflict with the Ghosts in the chase, the ninja succeeded in escaping with the Sword of Sanctuary, forcing both parties to abandon the mountain.
===The Splinter in the Blind Man's Eye===
The Wailing Alps was the sight of the Hanging Temple, where the Wishmaster resided. Lloyd and Clancee both climbed the mountain on foot looking for the Wishmaster to the hanging temple.
==LEGO.com description==
The highest peaks on NINJAGO Island, the Wailing Alps get their name from the mournful sound made by the wind as it blows through the canyons. They say the winds can gust so powerfully at times that they could blow a traveler right off the mountains. Bitterly cold, with almost constant snowfall, the Wailing Alps are among the most inhospitable places in the NINJAGO world.https://web.archive.org/web/20160910220642/http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/accessories/locations/wailing-alps-season-5-35f483b42a794daf88cdc45ac264caef

*Although it is the highest mountain in Ninjago, The Book of Spinjitzu shows that the tallest mountain is the mountain where Cole climbed and where he first met Master Wu.
