Are you eventually making for Greenwood the Great?

I would not go up the North Stair. I think much of the travel along the Anduin north of the Argonath would be high rocky cliffs and and highlands and very inhospitable travelling.

Better to to go around the western base of the Emyn Muil (the East Wall of Rohan), and then travel along the river all the way north. You would pass the Downs, then between the Wold and the Brown Lands, past the River Limlight and up to the Silverlode and to Caras Galadon. Then up the river, north as always, past the River Gladden, to where the Anduin narrows (just south of the Carrock), this will be known as the Old Ford, and it is there you can cross the river.

Radagast will know this place. If your company travels east from the ford a short distance to Greenwood Forest, you can pass by Rhosgobel, the dwelling place of Radagast in the vales of the Anduin.

Travelling along the river as much as possible will afford you fresh water, fish, and small game.
