#perched

• Perched — The state of an object, person, or structure that has been climbed, hoisted, or scrambled up with effort to a certain height; perched, placed high up. As an adjective derived from a participle, the term carries a strong regional color and is frequently used figuratively to describe isolated settlements, sheepfolds, or huts strategically or picturesquely situated on hard-to-access mountain ridges.
• Climbed — Climbed, scaled, or suspended with effort onto a tall or steep surface; clambered. It is used to describe a person or animal situated at a height in a relatively unstable position, or a climbing plant that has fixed and extended itself onto a vertical support. It represents the past participle of the regional verb 'acățăra', replaced in modern literary language by 'cățărat'.
