Barks' synopsis-only "Hang Gliders Be Hanged!" (D 6886) refers to
"Mount Demontooth" and "Black Forest of Duckburg".
Unfortunately, the drawn version of this story dropped Barks' fishline
idea, replacing it with a scene of angry eagles. The fish-line idea
was part of the story's plot, while the eagles are only used to give
Donald a hard time.
Maybe other Demontooth references can be found in the script-only
Junior Woodchuck stories?
Best wishes,
