How the forget do you get up to High Hrothgar?

There's a staircase starting somewhere, but I just climbed up the side of the mountain with my horse until I found part of the path and followed that the rest of the way.

Quick note, they are VERY good for training Sneak, Archery, and One/Two-handed skills. They do not react to those attacks, and have a good amount of health so you shouldn't wear them down too fast. I maxed out Sneak there. I just went back now to max Archery.

If you do this, you're handicapped and not playing the game.

I need some way to get read of all these Iron arrows, though... I had like 816 or something.

Besides that, whenever I ask if some method is dishonorable, no one even responds. Then when I talk about the method openly, someone comes up saying it's dishonorable and I'm stuff for doing it. forget you.

While Lydia and I were walking up to High Hrothgar, I encountered a frost troll and holy stuff are they difficult. I left Lydia behind to die while I ran for my life. I just realized she has my stuff.

forget.

EDIT: false alarm, she teleported back to me somehow. i didn't know people had this technology in skyrim.

I don't know, realistically smacking a horse with a sword makes more sense than running into the dangerous wilds unlearned in the way of the blade.
Real swordsmen would train on dummies and such, as they do in game, but since the player cannot gain experience from them a horse is a good dummy substitute. Same goes for bows and other combat stuff.

Though I wouldn't feel right grinding to 100 like this, but maybe to 25 or at the most 50. I also wouldn't train sneak like that.

I found the Frost Troll on the way back down, since I improvised my way up. It chased me down to a Polar Bear, which caused me to run off the trail. I saw the bear and the troll fighting, but when I tried to look forward, this tree blocked my view. I moved a little, shear cliff RIGHT at my horses feet, he was partially off it. "Okay, just slowly back aw- FUUUCK" Forgot how terrible horses are, they can't back up AT ALL. They make U turns, and he jumped off to our deaths. By the way, the only way followers can die is if you hit them. Otherwise, they just crouch down and regain health slowly.

Didn't even work in terms of Archery. I gained two levels in like 30 minutes, 76. Is there and legitimate way to quickly train this?

I used to say "I don't give a forget" like you, then I realized saying that is contradictory.

I found something that summons familiars. what's a familiar?

A spirit manifesting itself as a wolf.

I decided to check how the Sneaking roll looks in third person view. Holy stuff, it's laughably terrible. It's like all they did was add to the players speed for a moment while spinning the player on an axis for a moment abruptly. It's so silly looking, but then again you should be hidden during it.

Actually, followers can die from any sort of sustained damage, including you.

When I went up, a dragon spawned right as the frost troll was encountered. The fought each other. The frost troll won.
I then proceeded to own the troll.

Am I the only one that actually killed the frost troll? ._.
It's not too hard if you use your fire magic against it.
Just use both hands, drain your magicka on it, and let your bow/arrow and Lydia do the rest.

No, I've done it on several characters.

Uh, not what I've been told and seen myself. If anything other than you takes her health to zero, your follower will simply hunch over and slowly regain themselves, then stand up. If you hit your follower past zero, they die.
