The dragon at Shearpoint

Shearpoint is a word wall located on a small peak to the north of High Hrothgar, in between Fellglow Keep and Irkngthand.

The wall contains all three words of the Throw Voice shout, and is guarded by both a leveled dragon and Krosis, an undead dragon priest.

The summit is visible behind Fellglow Keep, and a rough path to the word wall can be followed by heading northwest past the keep and circling round to the northeast. Alternatively, you may head south from Tumble Arch Pass before heading east once the slope becomes easier to climb.

Before the Dragons

Before the dragons' return, the wall is guarded only by Krosis. No additional enemies appear.

Notes

• If you learn of this location from gossip, such as a city guard, you'll be able to fast travel to the location, even though you have never been there before.

Bugs

• This area can also glitch and not become cleared, even after you have killed the dragon, the priest, and gotten the word from the wall. The only solution appears to be reloading a saved game.
• The word wall will occasionally only teach you one of the three words of Throw Voice. The only current remedy for this (bar the use of the console) is to reload a previous save. ^?
