I've noticed over my months of playing Skyrim, that my game has become more and more glitchy over time, despite the disc being in perfect condition. The glitch which is causing me the most problem at the moment, is that at Shearpoint, a location of the various dragon priests, the dragon priest is in. Surprisingly every tome and oral tradition I looked into pointed to the mountain top of Shearpoint. Located east of Whiterun on the southern fringe of the Pale, Shearpoint is a solitary peak on the end of a short chain of mountains stretching towards Windhelm. Shearpoint is a dragon lair located on a small peak to the north of the Throat of the World, between Fellglow Keep and Irkngthand. Its word 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.

Shearpoint skyrim map

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