I noticed while doing this quest, that if you jump on top of your barrel after placing it, and then place it again and jump on top of the new one, you can create a tower of barrels on which you can stand
Of the *inside* of the cave. Don't try flying up the mountains like I did. O_o

Description
Hey there! Joining us for the assault I assume? I've got a special task for you... we're going to bring the whole cave down on their heads! Towards the back of their cave, you should find Frostgut's Altar. Sneak up and plant this hardpacked explosive bundle somewhere close to it. Once the charge is placed, stick around just long enough to make sure Frostgut bites it, then get out quickly! There's no knowing how long the cave will last once that thing goes off!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Know No Fear
Now that we have the teleporter open, my plan is quite complex... it has several facets and will take impeccable coordination. And there are supplies to be gathered! And troops to recruit! Likely, weeks of hard labor as well! Hahah, I had you going there for a moment, didn't I? You've got this, kid.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Demolitionist Extraordinaire
You've got some swift feet on you sonny! Thanks for lending a hand with those explosives... I've been waiting to give that invention a good test run for a while! Go ahead and tell Ricket we should be covered on the magnataur front now... my sappers will clean up any of the remaining baddies.
