Climb the Steps

Walkthrough
When arriving at Ivarstead for the first time, there is an opportunity to help Klimmek deliver supplies, up the 7000 steps, to the Greybeards at High Hrothgar.

Bring the supplies to High Hrothgar
Receive Klimmek's Supplies from Klimmek, then cross the bridge near the river, and make your way up the mountain. A few wild beasts will be encountered. Place the supplies in a large chest, located between two winding stairs leading to the main gates of High Hrothgar.

While up here, chat with the locals, the Greybeards, who may well already have summoned the Dragonborn.

Return to Klimmek
At your convenience return to Ivarstead and talk to Klimmet for a substantial reward.
