How to get to high hrothgar?

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

Ok, I'm probably missing something here, but I have been all the way around the base of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mountain now and there is not a single way up there that isn't too steep.

Call me a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ noob, get it over with, but just tell me what I'm missing please.

...never knew about the steps

Sure you did, Jarl Balgruth tells you about them. You just weren't paying attention.

I don't know about anyone else, but if he told me that it was like 20 hours earlier, maybe more.

It has to be one of the main complaints I have about the game so far, and it's a strange one; there is too much.
I have like 30-40 quests now in my journal, quests and misc. stuff included.
Now I love having plenty to do, but I don't remember hardly any of these, where I got them, who from, or even what I'm supposed to do or why.

I just follow quest arrows now to the closest destination, and do what the quest log says.
That's why I got in trouble for burning ALL the bee hives rather than just 3 for the thieves guild. It said burn 3, I just let rip with my flamethrower and burned them all. It had been around 10 hours and a lot of other filler stuff had happened since then, so I couldn't remember him saying that

You might want to check out the Even Better Quest Objectives mod. It helps quite a bit.

7,000 steps. Starts at Ivarstead. Which you're told. Which you have a quest pointer to.

I finished this quest yesterday. The quest marker was at High Hrothgar, not Ivarstead.

the game tells you to head to Ivarstead to start your journey to High Hrothgar yo.

Maybe it tells you in a conversation but the quest pointer is directly on high hrothgar, which has already been stated.

And as I said before, it's like 20+ hours since I was told to go for this quest, since I have so many other things to do as well, I have just been wandering and doing stuff as I go.
I just decided it's time to do a bit more story questing before I continue to try and reduce my quest list, which is at least 40 quests long, most of them totally forgettable and meaningless, like "take satchel to X" and "bring book to Y".

Not to mention, I skip most of the dialogue anyway, as it's poorly written and even more poorly acted most of the time.

Or get a horse, they're almost like a 4WD in Skyrim.

skips dialogue
doesnt know where to go
Well that makes sense.

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

You have quest pointers for that. Duh.

And I don't skip the whole thing, just most of it. He said go here, I go there. Maybe I heard him say to start somewhere else, but that was over 20 hours ago. With all the other filler I have taken on since then, how am I supposed to remember that?

[GoodSmith]

I wish I can play Skyrim again like I completely forgot everything about it.

The markers literally lead you to Iverstead.

I dunno, maybe RPG's arent for you if you just go from marker to marker. Isnt that boring ?

I disable Quest markers by default.

I even disabled the compass
