Notes: Buttermilk style roof climbing!
Greasefire is a pumpy and steep problem that climbs out
of a 9ft. roof section full of sloping huecos and gritty
incuts. It finishing with a huge lunge to a funky mantel.
Andy Blair discovered and sent the well hidden roof problem.
Sit start as far back into the cave as possible. Climb
the roof on huecos and incut flakes to a large jug/flake
system. From that point, there are three possible exits.
The original exit was done up and slightly right on a
thin slab section. The popular exit for Greasefire goes
as a huge sideways dyno left for a big scoop in the lip
of the boulder. A funky mantel into the scoop finishes
out the problem.
