TheWoWDBWowhead says this quest is no longer in the game but I just completed it not even a half-hour ago. Don't get confused by the false label, the information on how to complete the quest, as well as the difficulty and rewards, are still the same.

Get inside, clear the mobs on the way. Inside you'll see a mob tagged as boss, don't be scared you don't have to face it :) just turn left or right, keep clearing the mobs till you are behind Queen Angerboda. Now you can kill her (it's a mage and will cast fireball and nova).
Stay there a few secs, there's a little dialogue between The Lich King and the husband (i think) of Queen Angerboda ;)
its the highest ... "house" ... in the mountain... so u just have to keep getting up... until your at the last 1:P

Description
A sheaf of parchment drops from the still hand of the overlord. Upon it you can discern the outline of the rituals that are taking place in the catacombs below. However, it appears that the queen of the vrykul, Angerboda, is having difficulty awakening King Ymiron. The ritual is taking place within the large chamber, known as the Winter's Terrace, on the north end of Gjalerbron. If you hurry, you may be able to stop her before it is too late.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sleeping Giants
I've overheard what you've had to say with Father Levariol. Allow me to suggest that he's not having you go far enough. You must also deal with the vrykul that lie dormant in the Waking Halls beneath Gjalerbron!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Down to the Wire
The vanguard of the Alliance force will be arriving within days. The soldiers will be expecting their winter gear to be prepared, but I've still got more cloaks to make. I've been using spotted hippogryph down for the cloaks' linings, but my stock won't last! You've got to help me, <name>.
