okay! i'll bite! this is a riddle.
the thing about a riddle is, though, is that it has to be possible, with time, for the guesser to be confident about what the answer is. if it's just ~*~mysterious~*~ words, yeah the reader's gonna be puzzled about it for a long while, but the fun is that it can be cracked. that means it takes a lot of skill to make a riddle that's challenging but can still be cracked. and that means EVERY WORD and turn of phrase REALLY REALLY REALLY COUNTS.
so my guess veers over to "mountain", with spine representing the peak, teeth and cavities alluding to caverns and caves that'd be in the mountain. mountains are old, they grow when plates shift, and people "scale" mountains for mountain climbing.
is this right? if it's not, really consider again the words you've chosen!
anyway, haha, congratulations on attempting to write a riddle. it's an old and honored profession or something, according to the hobbit.
good luck and lemme know if you have any questions.
