Before Originally climbed as an easier variation of [Salathé Wall](/climb/814/salathé-wall), avoiding the hard crack pitches on the headwall, Freerider is now one of the most popular free routes on the main face of [El Capitan](/crag/8023/el-capitan). [Todd Skinner](/climber/1053/todd-skinner) and [Paul Piana](/climber/1186/paul-piana) considered bypassing some of the hardest climbing on the Salathe via parts of what was to become Freerider but opted to follow the original aid line as closely as they were able to. The line was conceived by Alex Huber whilst working on his free ascent of the Salathé Wall in 1995. He rope-soloed the four pitch variation to the headwall that year but waited three years before climbing the whole route with his brother Thomas. There are two common variations that make up the crux of the route, The Boulder Problem at around 7c+ sport or 7B/+ boulder or The Teflon Corner at around 7c sport. The boulder problem is short and dynamic, while the teflon corner features extremely technical and insecure smearing. While the rest of the route is seldom easy, the other notable hard pitches are The Monster Offwidth and The Enduro Corner. [Dan McManus](/climber/2474/dan-mcmanus) on The Monster Offwidth: > Left side in! The first time I climbed this pitch I had been told that it was crucial to climb it with a specific side in the crack, but I couldn’t remember which side. I guessed right side, I was wrong, but I did miraculously manage to chicken-wing my way up by the skin of my teeth. In doing so I removed the skin on my tricep which oozed for the next few days and made further offwidths very painful.
