I've done the first few parts of this quest....and Aela and I are standing in the first room of Gallow's Rock. A gate has shut as we entered. I can't find any way around this gate. Please let me know what I'm missing here!

Thanks,

Your missing the contraption that opens the door, there will always be one, even if you cant see it, search the room up and down for all sorts of different ones, if that doesnt work, maybe theres an alternative way. I dont remember the quest specifically, but I have done it.
