Runes of Magic US / AU

I'm in Sascilia Steppes cleaning up passed over quests, as part of my design to explore the whole game. A few of these quests lead to Dragonfang ridge - indeed, a handful of available quests "in this zone" show up as in Dragonfang ridge. Unfortunately I can't get there from here. As usual, there are mountains in the way. I found a cave entrance, with lots of quests available inside - but no route through. I don't see any other caves/tunnels, and I can't find anywhere where I can climb up/over the mountains. Is there a route through, or do I need to approach from a zone on a different border, perhaps Ystra Highlands?

[Obligatory whine - which game designer thinks playing find-the-route is fun, and what has s/he been smoking?]

Thank you. I didn't think to try over there.

Quoted from "Inferiority;561773"

There is a part in Mispel Marsh where the mountains to the west seem to have a path leading upward that is wide enough to take a combine harvester. You can get over the mountains there if you prefer to avoid going through Dogamor, but the combine harvester will take considerable damage when it drops down. However, I recall from another post that even your lowest class puts you at a much higher level than the Mono-Optic Menaces so I figure you might have found the path by now.

You are right that I'm over level for the area. I went west rather than south in Sascilia Steppes, and only just got curious about the south part - at 31/31/30.

So tonight I went via Dogamor, got to Lyk and opened the portal. End of problem, except that I should probably visit Ystra Highlands and unlock the portal I expect to find at Harf Trading post, to kind of complete my network. (And also because I'm bored with quests aimed at levels 16-21 ;-) I want to try out all the quests, so as to experience the whole game, but I keep leveling faster than I can do them all ;-)
