I'm following the main quest and I need to get up to the Greybeard's monastery High Hrothgar. The quest marker first lead me to Ivarstead, and then I tried to find a way up the mountain.
I haven't found a way up yet and I am nearly around half of the mountain now. The Clairvoyance spell also doesn't help, it just says "unable to find a direct path". How do I get up this mountain?

There should be stairs near a bridge in Ivarstead (you know you're near it when you can get a quest from an npc to deliver food to the Greybeards), just go up those, however sometimes they end for a bit, however the path is generally linear to High Hrothgar. Just look around for some more steps.
The UESP page for the quest is a bit vague, but might be of some help.
