Lornar's Pass POIs, Skill Points and Vistas

Skill point on the north side of the map (Icedevil's Needle): In a cave system.  Enter the caves from the south (just south of the heart/waypoint, take the left path and it will lead you there.  It's a commune point but it's guarded by a ton of mobs along the way with a veteran mob and a group at the point.  Mobs respawn pretty quickly.

Skill point west of Mistriven Gorge: NW of the skill point is a snow path that leads into a tunnel.  Enter the tunnel, and be on the lookout for a ramp on your right that leads upward.  There will be mystery meat at the skill point that you can grab and consume for the point.

Vista east of Nentor Valley: This one is easier to get to than it looks but not intuitive.  You need to scale the mountain from the north side.  There are sections of the cliff that you can walk up pretty easily but seem pretty steep.  Hang slightly left as you climb and you will see some rock outcroppings you can jump on.  Again, not super obvious that you can jump on them, but possible.  That will wind around the peak and reach the top.

Vista west of Reaper's Gate, north of False River Valley (just south of the skill point): Easy to get to.  Go through the cave system to the west of the vista (one entry is SW of the vista, at the end of a road) and take an EAST fork off of it at one point.  It will lead you outside onto a cliff.  Climb up some rocks to the vista.

Vista west of Winterthaw Snowfield (also north of Lost Delver's Ridge): Straight mountain face climb. Start from east and slightly to the north and scale the mountain.  Requires a small amount of jumping, mostly just recognizing what slopes are walkable and what are not.

Vista east of Venison Pass: Take the snow ramp up the mountain that starts from just north of the nearby heart ("Help Hunter Neida").  Follow that until you reach a 3-way fork.  Take the middle path and continue south, jumping along the rocks, until you reach the vista.

Vista NW of Demon's Maw (SE of Demon's Maw Waypoint): Walk all the way to the southern ledge next to the waypoint.  Walk forward slightly and onto the angled slab below you.  Jump on the slightly vertical rock in front of you.  Jump off that towards the vista, but angle to the right to make sure you don't fall.  Walk up to the vista.

Vista SE of Durmand Priory: Climb up into the Priory.  Find the armor repairer (right next to the trading post, armorsmith, weaponsmith) and jump off the railing headed south.  You can climb back up into the priory by using some stones to the west, though you'll likely need a swiftness boost to make it over the railing.

POI "under" Durmand Priory: This is located in an underground cavern full of ice wurms.  You can enter either through the north tunnel (located by the skill point west of Mistriven Gorge, take the UPPER path when you head into the tunnel with the cave trolls) or from the south.   The south path is easier.  South of the Asura gate in the Priory, the snow leads to a tunnel with cave bats inside and outside.  This will lead you to the POI.
