canPowerBombMidIBJ (Hard)

The ability to place a single Power Bomb while climbing during an IBJ, and then switch back to Bombs to continuing the climb without falling. This is often used to break a block that respawns where breaking it before the IBJ would be too slow, or to break a block in a heated environment that is too high to reach from the ground and a second IBJ would waste Energy.
