@stavvers@masto.ai to be fair, in the North of England there's a place called Snake Pass. It's main hazards are snow (in the winter) and landslides, hence if you Google it the suggested "People also ask" queries are mostly about why it's closed... So they may have thought it was figurative :)

@stavvers@masto.ai Seeing how common animal-related names are, it could have meant: - that someone had a situation with a spider there (perhaps millennia ago) -someone called Spider did the first map on the area - the natural formation kind of looks like it's made for spiders - there were spiders (which in lotr are always biggish; perhaps millennia ago) I've been to so many Beartracks, Wolf hills, lynx passes, Moose lakes etc. and never seen anything bigger than a rabbit.
