Description Suggest change

Jager Bomb starts at the far left side of the cave to left (Southwest) of the bench and works its way up and right and exits the cave with excellent moves in a short dihedral on the upper right of the cave. After the short dihedral it meets up with the last bolt of Intimidation and tops out to a gear anchor of 1-2."

The route has exciting moves the entire way and pretty good gear--although still uncomfortably runnout in sections. It starts at a short dyno or long reach (can be skipped by stepping off the boulder), followed by a mantle out left and then a hand traverse right. The first crux is more mental than physical; move up into the roof after the traverse where you are now in ground fall zone with a back breaking pyramid rock below you (5.9 R+).

After learning more history on the area from Frank Jager, the name was decided as a tribute to his many other routes in the area. Also, because if you fall off the first crux, you'll bomb straight onto the backbreaker on the deck. The crack that follows the direct crack out of the roof is the Profanity Overhang A4.
