I'm not too sure how that happened, but it seems Boudica managed to survive a total defeat in war with an impenetrable city. I believe the borders of its cities nearby captured a hut there and spawned a settler.
Actually, there might be a way to win even in this situation, but it takes time.
A) Build a city in the middle of a frozen area or a total desert, a city that you wouldn't mind giving up. Make sure it has no defense at all (so, not on a hill or by a river). Then, nuke the snot out of the mountain city. When Boudica is ready, announce that you are ready for peace, and will even give this city outside to her. She would probably accept.
B) This happened only once on Prince difficulty with me. I declared war again and continued nuking the city so much that eventually, the city and the surrounding areas were entirely barren. The Civ dumped the city, abandoned it (can this actually happen or was it a glitch? I have never found a button to 'abandon city' anywhere, but...). Thus, the capital became the frozen city, which had no defense, no resources, and no population, and was EXTREMELY easy to capture. Success.
Of course, most of this was luck, and took about 50 turns.

I don't think you can abandon cities in Civ4 unless somebody has coded it into a mod. However, it is possible you could gift a poor arctic city, she could change her capital, and then you could demand the mountain city for peace, and then attack once the treaty is expired.
Or just vassalize, because your power will be immense compared to hers. It's the easy way out.
how did it get so big looks like someone needs hannibla to do what he does best but i think he might need tanks instead of elphants and lots of gunners i think u can walk over mountains in an diangley but that might require a mod
Another option would be a Settler within your cultural borders when you declared war - if the isolated square was the closest empty square, the Settler would have been teleported there.
Interesting - might be a usable strategy: put Settlers in other peoples borders near otherwise inaccessible squares and then cancel open Borders....hmmmm.
Go into WB. Get her another city and make it the capital. Then stop fighting and become very friendly. Get her to give you that city, then declare war. Problem solved!
About the give her another city idea, if you give her an awesome city (coastal, at a river, with loads of resources) would an AI make that city its capital? If so you can declare war, make peace with the cost of the mountain city, declare war again and take the capital
Well, Looks like Boudy is gonna start to inbreed. I can just picture the random event now... Several of your citizens stumble upon inbred Celtic mutants while mountain climbing.
