People of the Summit

My players are about to head into the Misty Mountains. Anyone run an adventure involving the People of the Summit?
 
DeCamp (or other early pastiche author) wrote about another dying humanoid race in the foothills of the himalayas. Not a bad read, a quick short story.

Remind me of what these are again?

The People of the Summit are a nearly extinct race living on the summit of the Misty Mountains in the south of Turan. They appear in the story People of the Summit by Nyberg and de Camp from Conan the Swordsman. They are hidden in the mist and protected by albino man apes and the "ancient one". They are held in fear by the Kozgari tribesmen and in ages past emerged from the mists to destroy the Turanian army. All good stuff. The story is pretty one-dimensional, typical of de Camp, but I think it would make for a good adventure.
 
It looks like the People of the Summit haven't shown up in anyone's campaign.

In that case, can any think of any adventures involving mountain top fortresses that I can rip off?
