The stairs to Northwind Mine are on the northeast end of the summit. To access the summit, you can travel through Northwind Mine, found on the northern side of the mountain, or climb to it, starting at Shor's Stone and heading just a little ways south down the path until you see a slightly gentler slope of mountain to the right. The lair is located a short distance northwest of Shor's Stone, northwest of Riften, and far south of Windhelm, on the highest point in the Rift. This location is one of many potential targets for one or more of the Radiant quests.
